Baku/13.09.22/Turan: On Tuesday, the CSTO Secretariat commented on the aggravation of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
“On the night of September 13, 2022, clashes took place on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan with the use of heavy weapons and UAVs. As a result, there are dead and wounded.
We consider the use of force unacceptable. To resolve the contradictions, exclusively political and diplomatic methods and agreements should be used, enshrined in the statements of the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia dated November 09, 2020, January 11 and November 26, 2021.
We highly appreciate the mediation efforts of the Russian Federation in a ceasefire on the line of contact from 09:00 on September 13 of this year.
In connection with the appeal of the Armenian side to the CSTO Collective Security Council for assistance to the Republic of Armenia, the Secretariat of the Organization, together with the CSTO Joint Headquarters, organized work to activate the CSTO mechanisms to resolve the situation.
We express our deep condolences to the families of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to the wounded,” the commentary says. --02D--

Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan rejected Ilham Aliyev's demands for Yerevan to stop acquiring weapons. "Armenia has acquired and will continue to acquire weapons solely for the purpose of self-defense. Over 200 square kilometers of our sovereign territory is under the control of Azerbaijan. And even to regain these territories, we do not intend to consider military action, but rather a process of demarcation. So, we are buying weapons and have no intention of sending them back," he stated.
