The CSTO countries should adopt a common position on Afghanistan, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at an extraordinary session of the CSTO Collective Security Council on 23 August, BelTA has learned.
“I concur with the proposal to work out a common position. We need to discard all formalities and agree on the common position by the summit in Dushanbe [scheduled for mid-September. Let's be sincere: for the time being this position is like this ‘let's wait and see what happens next and then respond accordingly'. This is wrong. Of course, we will be watching what happens next. However, we need to clearly understand that given the information and the facts that we heard today, we need to develop a common position rather than issue all kinds of calls and statements. Otherwise, it will be too late to do something to rectify the situation,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
