YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. Within the framework of the CSTO, the issue of providing military-technical assistance to Armenia was also considered, but the primary thing for Armenia is the political assessment, the recording of the fact by the allies, ARMENPRESS reports Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan said during the parliament-Cabinet Q&A session, referring to the question of Lilit Minasyan, MP from "Civil Contact" faction.

The MP reminded that, following the results of the CSTO summit recently held in Yerevan, Armenia did not join a number of documents, which were sent for revision. She inquired at what stage the revision process is at, and whether Armenia has any expectations from those documents.

"There is one expectation - to clearly record what happened, and that is the invasion of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia by Azerbaijan, the targeting of civilian infrastructures, the recording of this fact and the taking of actions arising from it. The CSTO is a military-political alliance, where the states have agreed to protect each other's territorial integrity, to protect it through diplomatic and political means, but, if necessary, also through military means. And here we expect that our CSTO partners will have this spirit when adopting the decisions”, Mirzoyan said, adding that the work continues.

The MP also inquired what kind of assistance was offered by the CSTO.

"In the discussed decision, among other measures, the issue of providing military-technical assistance to Armenia was also considered, but, I repeat, for us, the issue of political assessment is priority, the recording by our allies that there was an invasion of the territory of Armenia, then we could consider the remaining measures as well: resolving the issue politically, that is, ensuring the withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops, military-technical assistance, other measures," Mirzoyan explained.

The Minister said that the decision has not been taken, now the foreign ministers should continue to work to see where it is possible to come to a common denominator.
