Should Azerbaijan start a new war, Armenia will have to participate in it, as a guarantor of Artsakh safety, according to Armenian Defence Minister.

As Seyran Ohanyan stated at a Yerevan- hosted conference titled CSTO and South Caucasus: Regional Peace and Security Perspectives, Armenia supports peaceful settlement of the conflict, expecting CSTO to understand its position.

The Minister drew the conference participants' attention to a strained situation in South Caucasus, adding that Armenia, which has no common border with any of the CSTO states, is interested in the stabilization of regional situation and strengthening of its borders.
