Lukashenko: Collective Security Treaty Organization non-viable without timely response

27.04

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko asked whether the CSTO as it is can influence situations like the one in Kyrgyzstan now and the one in Abkhazia and South Ossetia before.

Alexander Lukashenko:
The present events are your answer. If the CSTO has failed to timely respond and steer the situation, it is the way it works. If the CSTO goes like that in the future, I can assure you it has no prospects….The organization is very young. The truth is that we do very little to develop it… The two of us (Russia and Belarus) have completely the same points of view on forming and developing the CSTO. We have common grounds. All the other states have totally different points of view of their own….I’ve been trying to give reasons speaking about the organization recently, especially in view of the latest events. What kind of organization is it when in one of our countries blood is shed, a coup takes place and… there is no response? Why? It is easy to guess why judging by these events.
