Azerbaijan not going to join either NATO or CSTO

The head of the public and political department at the Azerbaijani presidential administration, Ali Hasanov, said that Azerbaijan is not going to join either NATO or CSTO ‘until these organizations condemn Armenia’.

“Unless the CSTO gives an adequate assessment to Armenia’s aggressive policy, Azerbaijan has nothing to discuss with it,” he said.

“Azerbaijan and Russia has been holding talks on military cooperation since 1992. However, nothing was done for resolution of the Karabakh problem. How can Azerbaijan join CSTO if Armenia is a member of this organization,” Hasanov said, 1news.az reported.
