Alen Simonyan
Baku/17.09.22/Turan: The sluggish reaction of the CSTO to Armenia's call to intervene in the military conflict with Azerbaijan provoked sharp criticism from official Yerevan. Earlier this criticism came from experts and pro-Western politicians, now the first persons of the country are expressing dissatisfaction. Thus, the Speaker of the Parliament Alen Simonyan stated: “Our expectations are not justified. It will be difficult for us to explain to the people why the CSTO is not taking the prescribed measures. Naturally, we drew conclusions.”
Simonyan recalled that there is also an agreement on friendship and mutual assistance between Armenia and Russia, and in his words, the Armenian side is waiting for more tangible actions from Moscow, rather than statements.
He also expressed indignation at the "provocative" statements addressed to the Armenian authorities on the air of Russian public TV channels.
Referring to the forthcoming visit of Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Simonyan noted that she was coming at his invitation. “Her visit to Armenia will be of great importance precisely from the point of view of security,” the speaker said.
In turn, the head of the Armenian Security Council, Armen Grigoryan, was more specific, saying that "Yerevan's demand to the CSTO was to provide military and military-political assistance to Armenia so that the Azerbaijani troops were withdrawn from the territory of Armenia, but so far it has not been fulfilled" - he told "Radio Azatutyun".
"The fact that the CSTO has not responded properly so far means that our expectations have not been met," he said. --02B--
