    Yerevan, 15 April: The Armenian police will attach a unit from its
    organized crime department to the Collective Operational Response
    Forces [collective rapid reaction force] within the Collective Security
    Treaty Organization (CSTO), Armenian police chief Alik Sargsyan said
    at a press conference on Wednesday [15 April].

    "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," Sargsyan 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 [special purpose
    police unit] and 150 people from the special purpose police forces,"
    Nurgaliyev said.

    Yerevan hosted the 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.
