Armenia Not to Take Part at Meeting of CIS Council of MOD Heads in Baku

PanARMENIAN.Net - Taking into account the fact that the Secretariat of the Council of Defense Ministers of CIS states was not able to get guarantees of Azeri authorities on securing Armenian delegation at the meeting of Ministry of Defense (MOD) heads, scheduled in Baku May 31, the Armenian MOD decided not to take part in the meeting. As Spokesperson of the Armenian Defense Minister, colonel Seyran Shahsuvaryan told PanARMENIAN.Net the Secretariat of the Council of Defense Ministers of CIS states is notified about it in the written form.



"This fact again confirms that Azerbaijan is not able to meet its commitments to secure participants of international meetings in its territory. In its turn, the Council Secretariat has to create equal conditions for all participant states of the meeting. We hope that CIS Defense Ministers will express their attitude to the happening," says a statement of the Armenian MOD.
