    UZBEKISTAN HAS NO PLANS TO QUIT CSTO - SECRETARY GENERAL

    RIA Novosti

    YEREVAN

    The Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
    (CSTO) dismissed reports on Thursday that Uzbekistan was going to
    pull out of the post-Soviet regional security group.

    There are no grounds to say that Uzbekistan will quit the CSTO,"
    Nikolai Bordyuzha said at a meeting of CSTO foreign ministers in
    Yerevan. "I don't see any reasons for it."

    Uzbekistan refused to send a high-ranking diplomat to the meeting
    in Yerevan "on procedural issues." The country had earlier suspended
    its membership in the organization.

    The CSTO comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia,
    Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
