    CSTO SC secretaries to discuss situatn in CSTO responsibility zone.

    Yerevan, November 30. KAZINFORM. The military and political situation
    in the zone of responsibility of the Collective Security Treaty
    Organisation (CSTO) and prospects of cooperation among the CSTO
    states will be prioritised at the tenth meeting of the committee of
    the CSTO Security Council secretaries on Tuesday, Kazinform refers to
    Itar-Tass. Partakers of the meeting will consider the fight with
    terrorism and other threats to the CSTO states, press secretary of
    the Armenian Security Council secretary Seiran Shakhsuvaryan told
    Itar-Tass.

    The heads of the CIS drug control agencies will take part in the
    current forum. Therefore the action Channel-2004 that is aimed
    against international drug trafficking will be considered at the
    meeting.

    "At present all countries have common problems and challenges," CSTO
    Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha said. He noted that "at present
    no military threat exists, and there are absolutely other threats."
    "Two of them - drugs and terrorism concern most of all countries all
    over the world including in the Caucasus," he emphasised. Accoridng
    ot Bordyuzha, "the CSTO should be adapted primarily to those security
    problems that exist in our countries."
    The secretaries of the CSTO Security Councils will consider
    military-technical cooperation and training of military personnel.

    Practical results have been achieved in this field. Russian weapons
    are already supplied on internal prices in the CSTO states. Russia
    will train military specialists from the CSTO states next year,
    Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov reported to President Vladimir
    Putin the other day.

    The CSTO states believe that the intensification of military activity
    is an important direction of the CSTO activity. The military groups
    that exist in the CSTO states are being modernised. These are the
    Russian-Armenian group in the Caucasus, Russian-Belarussian group and
    the rapid deployment collective forces in Central Asia.

    Armenia that hosts a meeting of the CSTO Security Council secretaries
    for the second time gives close attention to the cooperation among
    the CSTO states on the bilateral and multilateral basis. The
    republic's authorities believe that Russian military and border
    presence is an important component of Armenian security.
