Nikolai Bordyuzha issued a statement on sabotage infiltration attempt made by Azerbaijan

CSTO considers the sabotage infiltration attempt made by Azerbaijan near Chinari village of Armenia’s Tavush province as a provocation, CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha issued a statement.

“The CSTO Secretariat is strictly concerned about the information received in connection with the armed incident that happened near Chinari village of Armenia. We consider such actions within the territory of the CSTO member state as a provocation, in particular, against the backdrop of quite a serious incident in Nagorno Karabakh Republic in April of this year during which heavy armored equipment was applied. It seemed that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process would eventually move forward due to the efforts made by both sides, as well as a number of countries.

However, recently the information received from the region on the ceasefire violations, as well as the December 29 incident, that killed servicemen, create a serious concern,” Nikolai Bordyuzha said in a statement.
