Within the framework of yesterday's CSTO events, the border situation of Armenia and Azerbaijan was discussed, as well as the general situation regarding the regulation of relations between Baku and Yerevan. This was announced by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

Commenting on the statement of the Vice Chairman of the RF Federal Council, Konstantin Kosachev, that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is beyond the jurisdiction of the CSTO, Zakharova noted that "political assessments and observations on a wide range of issues in Armenia, sometimes diametrically opposed, are expressed before various events, during and after".

"We either accept the fact that we are democratic societies and experts, politicians, and political scientists have the right to express their expert opinion on various events, or we depart from that principle," Zakharova stated.

It should be reminded that the vice-chairman of the Federation Council of the RF Federal Assembly, Konstantin Kosachev, stated that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan does not concern the jurisdiction of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
