CSTO DRILL IN ARMENIA NOT AGAINST AZERBAIJAN - SECRETARY-GENERAL
Moscow, 11 January: The CSTO [Collective Security Treaty
Organization] exercise Rubezh 2008 planned for spring 2008 in Armenia
is not in any way directed against Azerbaijan, CSTO Secretary-General
Nikolay Bordyuzha has said.
"In taking the decision to carry out the exercise, we did of course
take into account the whole situation in the Caucasus, and we made
every effort to make clear to Azerbaijan that this exercise is not
being conducted against it," Bordyuzha told a news conference in
Moscow, replying to a question from RIA Novosti.
The drill will be a command-post-type exercise, which means no major
military deployment will take place and, furthermore, it will be
anti-terrorist in nature.
