    CSTO chief describes terror, drugs, organised crime as key threats

    Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation
    (CSTO) Nikolai Bordyuzha believes that "the CSTO should be adapted to
    the security problems which the CSTO countries are facing." "Nowadays
    our key problems are terrorism, organized crime and drug trafficking,
    but not a military threat," Bordyuzha told a news conference here on
    Saturday.

    "We propose the CSTO leaders to define the CSTO's military component
    for the next few years and decide whether we are going to move towards
    collective forces or rapid reaction units. We are currently working on
    this issue," the secretary general said.

    At the same time Bordyuzha regards the activation of the CSTO military
    component as an important direction. He said the upgrading process of
    the CSTO military component namely the Russian-Armenian military
    grouping in the Caucasus, the Russian-Belarus grouping and the
    collective rapid deployment forces in Central Asia was in progress.

    "We are acting according to a special plan," Bordyuzha specified.
