Bordyuzha rules out CSTO participation in ground operations in Syria

It is ruled out that CSTO forces will start a ground operation in Syria, Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Nikolai Bordyuzha, said.

"It's not serious to say that the leaders of our countries will make a decision on starting a ground operation beyond their borders," TASS cited him as saying.

Bordyuzha stressed that "a CSTO military potential may be used only on the territory of member countries with the approval of the heads of state."
