i read in an interview with one of the commanders of NKR war, that Shahumyan is harder to defend because of its topography, you'd have a 240 angle of defense, therefor it was abandoned. therefor it makes more sense to take over territory all the way to kura river.

btw, kidek kani had fidayi masnagtsele baderazmin spyurkits? indz hedakrkira.

I've heard the same. Much of the territory changed hands several times during the war and was indefensible. In terms of men and material, it was too costly to hold.

Armenia is a full member of CSTO and it will get assistance from the organization in case of necessity, Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) said at a Yerevan-Moscow-Chisinau-Kiev-Astana space bridge, commenting on CSTO position in case of possible military aggression of Azerbaijan against Armenia.

“If non-friendly actions are taken against Armenia, CSTO member states will provide necessary assistance to Armneia,” Bordyuzha said.

Assessing the activity of the CSTO over the past ten years, the Secretary General said it has succeeded in its mission. “Today the organization is well-known and is reckoned with. It has played a great role in the life of all member countries,” Nikolay Bordyuzha said.

Touching upon the exercises of the CSTO collective rapid reaction forces to be held in Armenia in September, Bordyuzha said Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has sent invitations to all member states. According to the Secretary General, preparation works are currently under way.

"In particular, Armenia is actively preparing for the military exercises, choosing the site of their conduct,” the Secretary General said, adding that there are still some technical issues, which will be solved in due time.

Two questions:
1. Would only Russia be helping or all CSTO nations. I ask this because Azerbaijan has fraternal relations with many CSTO members. Can can individual members opt not to help Armenia?
2. Would an invasion of Karabakh be under CSTO jurisdiction, as it is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan?

I'd take these statements with a grain of salt. Only Russia would intervene. Besides, what can the other countries do? they don't have the capacity to deploy troops outside their borders and project power. Also, the turkic countries would definitely not intervene against Azeris.
