Moscow urges military allies CSTO to support Syria settlement

Sergey Lavrov has told a conference of CSTO Foreign Ministers that the failure to solve the Syrian crisis would have negative consequences not only for security situation in the region, but for the whole system of international law.

The Russian Foreign Minister was speaking at the opening of the session of Collective Security Treaty Organization – the Russia-led bloc uniting six neighboring countries: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Russia.

In 2014 the rotating presidency of the bloc will be taken by Russia, and because of that Lavrov briefed his colleagues on current priority issues in international relations.

“We are concerned with the situation in Syria and not only because of possible negative consequences to the region as a whole, but also because of the negative consequences to the whole system of international law. You know about the necessity to quickly solve the problem of starting the dialogue, and about the chemical weapons issue. I think, today we can support the international community’s efforts on Syria,” Sergey Lavrov said in his opening speech.

On September 14 the Russian Foreign Minister together with the US State Secretary John Kerry coordinated a plan to secure Syrian chemical weapons by mid-2014, following a suggestion from Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the differences between Russia and US still remain – Moscow insists that any discrepancies and disputes are solved through consultation with the UN Security Council, while the United States suggests that any suspected violations are dealt with by military force.

In addition, the Russian minister again warned his colleagues about possible aggravation of the military-political situation in the Central Asian region in connection with the planned withdrawal of coalition forces from Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has observer status with the CSTO and member Tajikistan borders this country.

The participants of the session then went on to discuss the plan of military cooperation between the CSTO nations up to 2020 as well as deployment of peacekeeping forces from the bloc and forming a collective security system.
