“CSTO as an organization, especially as a military and political organization, is in a serious crisis, or otherwise it can be said that the development process has not reached a major success,” – so explains political analyst Sergey Minasyan about the reason of Armenia’s representative failing to receive the position of the CSTO Secretary General. According to the political analyst, there are serious controversies among member states, including on the staff matters, “There are problems with some member states whose approaches are different than Armenia’s approaches. Controversy are also on various political and regional matters.”
Incidentally, the “Kommersant” Daily also referred to the CSTO Summit in the light that even the member states are not interested in the CSTO. According to the political analyst, “This article journalistically was interesting but there is nothing new. Yes, actually it seems that the CSTO is trying to go by the path of CIS.”
