Military of CSTO Countries to Work Out Actions during Border Conflict in Caucasus
Baku / 15.08.20 / Turan: The member countries of the Collective Security Treaty (includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) will hold special exercises from 17 to 20 August, the RG reports.
According to the press secretary of the CSTO Joint Staff Vladislav Shchegrikovich, the exercises are intended so that the military can work out the issues of material and technical support during a joint operation to localize the border armed conflict in the Caucasus region.
The exercises will be held in the Astrakhan region at the Kapustin Yar training ground under the leadership of Lieutenant General Viktor Voronov, deputy commander of the Southern Military District for logistics.
It is noteworthy that the exercises are held a month after Armenia attacked Azerbaijan on the Tovuz section of the state border and did not stop shelling Azerbaijani positions here.
In this sense, the anti-Azerbaijani orientation of the exercises is obvious. -0-

On Tuesday, the Binagadi district court did not satisfy a request to transfer a disabled person of the first group, Famil Khalilov, under house arrest. Khalilov himself was taken to court, lawyer Bahruz Bayramov told Turan. The activist stated the absurdity of accusing him of drug trafficking, considering the paralysis of both his hands. "How could I sell drugs?" he said, addressing Judge Aynura Sadygova. However, despite the obvious absence of signs of a crime, the court kept Khalilov in custody. The defense intends to file an appeal.
