MOSCOW, August 4 -- Draft documents on the CSTO peacekeeping activity
are ready, said Valery Semerikov, deputy secretary-general of the
Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
The CSTO secretary-general told Itar-Tass on Thursday, "The CSTO
strengthens and it is necessary to create its own peacekeeping
potential in order to ensure stability and security in the CSTO
responsibility zone and involve the CSTO in U.N. peacekeeping
operations."
He recalled, "In June 2004 the CSTO supreme body - the CSTO Council
- approved a concept on the creation and functioning of the CSTO
peacekeeping activity and instructed to prepare necessary documents."
"Draft documents are being worked out. They will lay a necessary
foundation for the CSTO peacekeeping activity. Draft documents are
being coordinated by members states of the CSTO - Armenia, Belarus,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan," Semerikov said.
On Wednesday, CSTO member-states are working on an agreement on
interstate programmes for basic and applied research. Semerikov
told Itar-Tassdraft agreement is finalised and submitted to CSTO
member-states for consideration.
The agreement "will become a legal foundation for solving foreign
political, military and military-technical problems. It will help
counteract trans-national challenges and threats to security posed
to CSTO member-states within interstate programmes," the CSTO deputy
director general said.
The draft agreement is being coordinated by Armenia, Belarus,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
