Only Russia, Byelorussia to help Armenia in case of attack - Karabakh war hero![]() September 20, 2012 - 12:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Should new hostilities break out, Russia and Byelorussia will be the only CSTO countries to actually help Armenia, Karabakh war hero, Major General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan said. As he further noted, “no state can provide its safety on its own.” Commenting on recently completed CSTO Collective Rapid Reaction Force Interaction-2012 drills in Armenia, Ter-Tadevosyan noted, “the exercises were crucial to Armenia in the sense that for the first time ever, theoretical actions were replaced by practical ones.” “The drills proved that CSTO has finally become active, with Armenia’s regional presence increasing,” he concluded. Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
