"CSTO Secretariat expresses concern over the tense situation on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which has arisen since July 12, after the armed clashes between the units of the Armed Forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan, as a result of which there are dead and wounded.
The current situation does not contribute to the settlement of the conflict between two neighboring countries, one of which is the Republic of Armenia, a CSTO member state, and points to the violation of the ceasefire agreements, which was ensured at the level of the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan", stated CSTO.
The organization calls on the parties to immediately restore the ceasefire in the territories under the responsibility of the CSTO.
