CSTO Secretary General’s statement over the incident in Chinari was very clear: Vigen Sargsyan

CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha’s assessment over the incident which occurred near Chinari village of Armenia’s Tavush province was very clear, Armenia’s Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan said during the military recruitment on January 8.

“The Secretary General’s statement over the incident in Chinari was very clear, and the Secretary General is one of the most important institutions of the CSTO and he expresses the organization’s whole opinion during the sessions,” the Defense Minister said.

Azerbaijani forces attempted a sabotage infiltration in the Armenian state border, south-east from Chinari village of Tavush province in the early morning of December 29. The Armenian Armed Forces have neutralized the Azerbaijan attacks. Azerbaijani forces were pushed back, suffering losses and WIAs, including in the military positions. CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha issued a statement over this incident.

“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 the 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,” Nikolay Bordyuzha said in a statement.
