CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha has issued a statement on the sabotage infiltration attempted by the Azerbaijani forces in the state border section of Chinari village of the RA Tavush Region. He has considered the incident as a provocation.

“CSTO Secretariat expresses grave concerns over the information received in relation to the armed incident that occurred near Armenia’s Chinari village.

Those actions are considered as a provocation within the territory of the member states of CSTO especially amid the serious incidents in Nagorno Karabakh Republic in April of this year during which heavy armoured vehicles were used.

It seemed that the NKR conflict settlement process would be pushed forward due to the efforts made by the sides of the conflict, as well as by several countries.

However the reports received from the region on the regular ceasefire violations, as well as on the incident of 29 December which claimed the lives of servicemen, raise serious concerns,” Bordyuzha statement reads.
