Byelorussia, the Russian Federation and Tajikistan will take direct
part in the final and the most active phase.

system of Air Defense of some CSTO member states like Armenia,

CSTO Air Defense into the common system of CIS Air Defense and their

of Air defense taken at the session this July by the CSTO leadership
was the most significant step in that direction.

facilities is also envisaged, Mr Semerikov noted .
