/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.
