Before discussing the agenda at the meeting of Permanent and Plenipotentiary Representative of Armenia to CSTO Permanent Council Viktor Biyagov, presented the current situation as a result of the aggression initiated by Azerbaijan against Artsakh along the entire length of the Contact Line, the purposeful use of aviation against the civilian population and civilian infrastructure and the provocative actions that followed.

Of particular concern is Turkey's unconditional military-political support to Azerbaijan, which contributes to the further destabilization of the situation in the CSTO area of responsibility and poses a serious threat to the peoples of the region. Turkish military specialists are fighting in the ranks of the armed forces of Azerbaijan, Turkish-made weapons are used, including unmanned aerial vehicles and military aircraft. - CSTO member cannot but cause our concern. We are determined to resist with all our might to neutralize the intentions of this union, "the RA Representative said.
