COLLECTIVE PEACEMAKING FORCES TO BE CREATED IN CSTO
MOSCOW, SEPTEMBER 15. ARMINFO. It is planned to create both collective
peacemaking forces and collective forces on cooperation in emergency
situations within the CSTO framework, CSTO Secretary General Nikolay
Bordyuja informed journalists today.
Collective peacemaking forces within the CSTO framework will differ
markedly from the same sub-units within the CIS. In particular, they
will take part in peacemaking operations of all the CSTO
member-states, but not only of Russia's. Besides, they will prepare
specified type sub-units for participation in joint operations, RBK
informs.
Collective forces will include rescuers' and
sanitary-and-epidemiological detachments, as well as police forces for
providing the order in disaster areas.
Bordyuja also informed that the CSTO is preparing a draft agreement on
recognizing extremist organizations out of law in territories of the
CSTO member-states. He explained that "some extremist organizations
repulsed in one state pass on to other one and act there". In his
words, a list of terrorist and extremist organizations posing a threat
to collective security of the CSTO member-states has been already
formed.
Bordyuja also informed that the CSTO and NATO are going to negotiate
shortly on issues of cooperation activation.
