Escalation at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border may lead to the destabilization of the region, Armenian President said Tuesday, September 15.

As Serzh Sargsyan noted at the CSTO Collective Security Council session in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, the heads of CSTO member states met to discuss sensitive issues.

“I informed the heads of the CSTO member states on the situation in the South Caucasus, focusing on the increasing threat of tensions along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the line of contact between Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh,” Sargsyan said.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan visited Tajikistan on Monday, September 14 to participate in the joint sessions of the CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers, Council of Defense Ministers and Committee of Secretaries of Security Councils.
