The CSTO Collective Security Council at an extraordinary meeting discussed the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and proposed to send the Secretary General of the organization Stanislav Zas to the border, as well as create a working group to analyze the situation, BelTA reports.
“Steps have been proposed that seem possible to take in an expeditious manner. Among them, the departure of the CSTO Secretary General to the conflict zone to prepare a detailed report to the heads of state and the creation of a working group from among the staff of the secretariat and the CSTO joint headquarters to analyze the situation and develop proposals, — the Belarusian agency says.
