PanARMENIAN.Net – CSTO Secretary General ruled out a military solution to the Nagorno Karabakh issue, stressing negotiations as the only way to settle the conflict.

“Some politicians are forgetting about those sad experiences,” CSTO chief said, referring to Azeri President’s bellicose speech at a Baku military parade.
