(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 22. First
of all, the countries of Collective Security Treaty Organization
(CSTO) are fully aware of who is the aggressor, and who is a victim
of this aggression, the Political analyst, and editor-in-chief of
the National Defence magazine, Igor Korotchenko told trend .
'No one ever doubted that Armenia committed aggression
and occupied Azerbaijan's territories for nearly 30 years. After
the second Karabakh war, a new reality appeared: Armenia was the
country that surrendered and lost the war. Nevertheless, there are
revanchists in Yerevan that still want to commit new armed
provocations,' said Korotchenko.
'And that provocation was committed, we all remember
that. Afterward, claiming, that it was the Azerbaijan army that
allegedly invaded Armenian territory, violating the state border,
and occupying a number of commanding heights in the direction of
Jermuk, Armenia appealed to the CSTO for military support,' he
added.
Igor Korotchenko noted that during the extraordinary
session of the CSTO's Collective Security Council that was held
online, the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was trying to
incite the CSTO against Azerbaijan and to enlist military support
in order to raise the topic of Azerbaijan's 'aggression'.
'However, that attempt failed since none of the CSTO
members supported him, refusing to act as a tool in Yerevan's hands
and speak out against Azerbaijan, let alone provide military
support. In this case, the words of President of Belarus Alexander
Lukashenko about the fact that Azerbaijan is a country close to us,
led by President Ilham Aliyev, whom we know very well, and that
Azerbaijan is a great friend and ally of the CSTO members,' noted
Korotchenko.
According to Korotchenko, CSTO understands that
Azerbaijan is a friend and ally, while Armenia is a provocateur and
aggressor. As a result, Armenia received no military support from
the CSTO.
