Former Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan called the outcome of Tuesday’s CSTO summit following Azerbaijan's attacks against Armenia “shallow, but not surprising”.

“The outcome of yesterday’s CSTO summit is shallow, though not surprising. Dispatching CSTO SG to the region against the background of “bothsidism” dominating at the summit is an empty decision to dodge collective responsibility for the attack against Armenia,” he said in a tweet on Wednesday.

He also touched on the Kazakh Foreign Ministry's comments about the need to “get an objective picture because conflicting information comes from both sides”, and that “it’s hard to speak about border violation” because “it is not demarcated”, stressing it best describes the CSTO futility.

"It is therefore imperative for Armenia to gauge its diplomatic efforts reasonably," Mnatsakanyan said.
