"We believe regional security can be ensured more effectively through the efforts of nations of the said region. We advocate regional responsibility both in terms of security and in terms of economic integration in the South Caucasus and other regions," the diplomat added.Galuzhin further noted that Russia expects Yerevan to understand that the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) provides every opportunity for cooperation on ensuring regional security, while commenting on Armenia’s non-participation in the meeting of the organization’s Council of Foreign Ministers in Almaty on June 21.

West's Agenda in South Caucasus Does Not Always Meet Interests of Regional States
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Agenda of the West in the South Caucasus region does not always meet the interests of regional nations, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told Sputnik, commenting on growing military cooperation between Paris and Yerevan.
On Tuesday, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Armenia had signed a contract with France for the purchase of French-made Caesar self-propelled howitzers, which Paris supplies to Kiev.
"Extra-regional [countries] go to the South Caucasus with their own agenda, which, mildly speaking, does not always meet the interests of regional states. Today, Western countries are coming to the South Caucasus with an openly confrontational agenda aimed against Russia. We believe it will not contribute to stability and security in Transcaucasia," Galuzin said.
"We believe regional security can be ensured more effectively through the efforts of nations of the said region. We advocate regional responsibility both in terms of security and in terms of economic integration in the South Caucasus and other regions," the diplomat added.
Galuzhin further noted that Russia expects Yerevan to understand that
the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) provides every opportunity for cooperation on ensuring regional security, while commenting on Armenia’s non-participation in the meeting of the organization’s Council of Foreign Ministers in Almaty on June 21.
“We hope that our Armenian partners, and we remain allies, will nevertheless come to realize that the most effective method of ensuring regional security is cooperation between regional states, and the CSTO platform provides all opportunities for that,” Galuzin said.
