YEREVAN. Oct 23 (Interfax) - Yerevan could request the assistance of Russia and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) if the fighting escalates and spreads over the entire border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview with Interfax on Thursday.
"We have already informed our CSTO colleagues on the current situation. Russia said that Moscow will be faithful to its contractual obligations to Armenia in the sphere of security. If the situation further develop in this vein, Armenia will, of course, refer this issue to the CSTO or, perhaps, to Russia directly," Pashinyan said.
