The deployment of the CSTO peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan has disrupted the regional plans of Turkey and Azerbaijan, Armenian MP Tigran Abrahamyan from the opposition With Honor faction said on Monday.

The MP noted that in the first days of the crisis in Kazakhstan, the Azerbaijani media reported only the facts concerning the developments in the country. However, after the decision to send a CSTO peacekeeping contingent to Kazakhstan, the Azerbaijani media and Telegram channels controlled by the authorities started not only an anti-Russian propaganda, but also a campaign against the Kazakh authorities.

"The regional plans of Turkey and Azerbaijan got mixed up. Forgetting about their close, multilateral and deep relations, they launched a propaganda campaign also against Kazakhstan,” Abrahamyan wrote on Facebook.

Also, he says there have been some changes in signals from the U.S., EU and NATO over the deployment of the CSTO forces in Kazakhstan, their involvement in the ongoing processes and long-term stay.

“However, it is obvious that in fact these processes are much deeper; there is a problem of control over important communications and zones of influence,” the lawmaker said.

Abrahamyan believes that after the events in Kazakhstan, the forces active in the Eurasian region will adjust their policies and the processes will “follow a different logic”.
