Armenia's acting Defense Minister Vagharshak Harutyunyan had another telephone conversation with the Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Stanislav Zas, the press service at the Ministry reported. 

According to the source, Harutyunyan presented the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, noting despite the reached agreement according to which several groups of Azerbaijani military returned to their initial positions today and in the previous days, some Azeri troops still remain in the territory of the Republic of Armenia and the crisis actually remains unresolved due to the Azeri provocation. 

The acting minister noted that considering the fact that the Azerbaijani military remain under the full control of the Armenian military units as well as the accumulation of forces on both sides of the border area, the situation is fraught with unpredictable consequences if the matter does not get a swift solution.  

Stanislav Zas, in turn, noted that the CSTO closely follows the developments taking place in the border area, adding the matter will be discussed in the coming days at the meeting of the CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers in Dushanbe.
