Armenian security chief meets with CSTO head in Yerevan

Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Armen Grigoryan on Wednesday met with the delegation led by CSTO Secretary General Stanislav Zas.

“They discussed the situation in the region and possible further measures of CSTO in the current situation,” the security bloc said in a statement.

The CSTO mission includes representatives of the CSTO member states who are employees of the organization’s working bodies.

Azerbaijani forces launched a massive attack against Armenia just after midnight on September 13, delivering artillery and drone strikes on Armenian military positions and civilian settlements.

The Defense Ministry said late on September 14 that the hostilities stopped at 8pm local time. Armen Grigoryan announced shortly after midnight that Yerevan and Baku had agreed a ceasefire brokered by the international community.

In a statement on Monday, the Security Council said that the number of those killed or missing in the Azerbaijani aggression reached 207.

"As a result of the aggression, the number of victims and missing persons reaches 207, including 3 civilians were killed, the whereabouts of 2 civilians are unknown, 293 servicemen and 7 civilians were wounded, 20 servicemen were captured. There is evidence of torture, mutilation and thereby unlawful killing of captured or killed Armenian servicemen by Azerbaijanis," the statement said.
