    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Rubezh 2008 exercise due in Armenia
    in spring 2008 is by no means targeted at Azerbaijan,
    CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha said.

    `Making the decision to hold the maneuvers we took
    account of the complicated situation in the Caucasus
    and exerted every effort to convince Azerbaijan that
    these are not directed against it,' Mr Bordyuzha told
    a news conference in Moscow. `These will be command
    and staff anti-terror exercises,' he added.

    `I do not think Azerbaijan will have a negative
    reaction to the exercise, which is not meant to tense
    situation in the region,' the CSTO Sec. Gen said
    adding that any state is entitled to hold maneuvers to
    ensure national security, The New Times reports.
