    ARMENIA TO DELEGATE POLICE UNIT TO CSTO COLLECTIVE FORCES

    Interfax
    April 15 2009
    Russia

    The Armenian police will attach a unit from its organized crime
    department to the Collective Operational Response Forces within the
    Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Armenian police chief
    Alik Sarkisian said at a press conference on Wednesday.

    "A special unit from the Armenian police's 6th main department will
    be sent to the CSTO Collective Operational Response Forces. It has
    been decided to send about 30 people now," Sarkisian said in response
    to a question from Interfax.

    Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said two Russian police
    units would be attached to the CSTO collective forces.

    "A hundred people will be delegated from OMON [the riot police
    forces] and 150 people from the special purpose police forces,"
    Nurgaliyev said.

    Yerevan hosted a first meeting between the CSTO interior ministers on
    Wednesday. They discussed the establishment and functioning of the
    CSTO Collective Operational Response Forces and interaction between
    the Interior Ministries within the CSTO format.
