Lukashenko at meeting with CSTO FMs: Armenia submits well-founded complaints
The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, at Tuesday’s meeting with the foreign ministers of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member countries, called not to avoid problems, but to resolve them, however difficult it may be, BelTA reported.
The Belarusian leader noted that now is a very difficult time for the CSTO, and it requires maximum consolidation of forces, experience, and resources to maintain peace.
Assessing the CSTO's activities, Lukashenko noted that the organization is sometimes rightly criticized for failing to resolve specific problems.
"Kyrgyzstan has been asking for help to resolve the conflict with Tajikistan for a long time. Armenia submits well-founded complaints. If we do not resolve these problems, the CSTO countries will constantly blame each other. There is a need to delve deeper into the problems of the CSTO countries," said Lukashenko.
"There are problems, there are questions, they must be solved—no matter how complicated they are. And we sometimes don't want to solve them because of their complexity," he added.
Lukashenko emphasized that if "friendly advisers" from the West are involved in the solution of these problems, it will be much more difficult to do anything.
