CSTO not to engage in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement

He said CSTO participation in the peacekeeping operations is more real because deployment of Western contingent in the region will provoke negative reaction from Iran.

“Karabakh conflict is a complicated conflict where interests of difficult countries are crossing. It is an ethnic conflict which embodies confrontation of religious views. CSTO is a multinational institution which unites both Muslim and Christian countries," he said

CSTO is not involved in the military conflicts like NATO. I consider that CSTO is only military and political organization able to provide peace and stability around Nagorno-Karabakh. If Azerbaijan joins this treaty, CSTO participation in the regional peacekeeping operations will be more real, the expert said.
