    Putin arrives in Minsk for two summits

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    June 23 2006

    MINSK, June 23 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived
    by plane in Minsk on Friday for two summits - one of the Eurasian
    Economic Community and the other of the Collective Security Treaty
    Organisation.

    The EurAsEC forum will discuss first of all customs union formation,
    and the CSTO summit is expected to result in signing of an agreement
    on collective quick-deployment forces. The two forums will discuss
    consolidation of cooperation between the EurAsEC and the CSTO,
    a Kremlin source told Itar-Tass.

    Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are members
    of both organisations. Armenia is the sixth member of the Collective
    Security Treaty Organisation. Uzbekistan joined the Eurasian Economic
    Community last January. Moldova, Ukraine and Armenia have the status
    of observers in the EurAsEC.
