    CIS SECURITY BLOC DISCUSSES IN ARMENIA REGIONAL ISSUES


    Yerevan, 21 August: It is necessary to speed up military cooperation
    within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
    (CSTO) due to the current geopolitical situation [in the region],
    Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan said at a news conference to
    sum up the results of a session of the CSTO council of defence
    ministers in Yerevan today.

    Speaking about cooperation between the CSTO and other
    military-political blocs, the CSTO secretary-general, Nikolay
    Bordyuzha, noted that the organization is ready to cooperate with
    NATO, since "any contact with the North Atlantic Alliance will help to
    solve numerous problems in both NATO and the CSTO member countries".

    The regional military and political situation in the zone the CSTO is
    responsible for, and neighbouring regions was discussed at the session
    of the council of the defence ministers of the CSTO member countries.

    The participants in the session decided to set up an interstate
    working group to create a single system on the technical monitoring of
    the railways of the CSTO member countries. The defence ministers
    coordinated documents aimed at improving the CSTO activities.

    The power of the chairman of the CSTO council of defence ministers
    were granted on Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan until the
    next session. The council of the defence ministers approved a draft
    resolution on appointing the Armenian first deputy defence minister
    and the chief of the general staff of the armed forces, Yuri
    Khachaturov, head of the CSTO united staff until the next session.
