Federation Council Chairperson Valentina Matvinko stated that the CSTO acted strictly in accordance with its statutory documents in the situation surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. According to her, Yervan is unreasonably offended by the organization for such a role and tries to shift responsibility. "The unfounded resentment against the CSTO during the recent war between Armenia and Azerbaijan is an attempt, in my opinion, to transfer responsibility for Karabakh to Russia, to the CSTO. Under these conditions, the CSTO acted strictly in accordance with its statutory documents," she told reporters following her visit to Vietnam.
