    THE CIS ANTI-TERRORIST CENTER HAS ESTABLISHED A NEW WORKING GROUP

    The CIS anti-terrorist center has established a new working group in
    charge of compiling a list of organizations the activities of which may
    be banned in the CIS. S. Polukarov, head of the legal support group
    of the anti-terrorist center, stated: "Of course, every CIS region
    has its priority tasks. However, our approach to evaluating interior
    and exterior threats coincides, and differences linked with these
    priority tasks must not prevent us from coming to an agreement." The
    CIS anti-terrorist center has created a specialized database of
    terrorist structures, persons and nongovernmental organizations,
    which support terrorists. The center is now creating legal mechanisms
    for banning the activities of such organizations. S. Polukarov noted:
    "We will summarize all materials about such organizations."

    S. Polukarov noted that the anti-terrorist center focuses on exchanging
    operational reports and organizing full-scale operational-tactical
    exercises. He noted that the South-Antiterror exercise was conducted in
    Kyrgyzstan in 2001. It is intended to conduct an exercise in Kazakhstan
    in August-September 2005, in Armenia in 2006 and Russia in 2007.

    At present 11 CIS nations are members of the anti-terrorist center.
    Turkmenistan did not join the center, though its representatives
    attended the Sochi meeting of the Council of the heads of the security
    and special services. Uzbekistan also plays the role of an observer
    in the Council and the Anti-terrorist center.
