MOSCOW, December 15 (Itar-Tass) - A visit by NATO's Secretary-General
Anders Fogh Rasmussen to Russia may start cooperation between the
alliance and the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO),
CSTO Secretary- General Nikolai Bordyuzha told reporters on Tuesday.
"I hope that the NATO secretary-general's visit to Moscow will
allow him once again to pay attention to this issue, to get detailed
information about the CSTO and to take concrete steps to persuade
a number of countries that have so far blocked this process to
cooperate," he said.
According to the CSTO secretary-general, there has been no real
progress in cooperation between the two organizations yet.
"NATO has not contacted the CSTO over any issues so far, including
such a pressing one for the alliance as Afghanistan," Bordyuzha said.
The CSTO chief said he had no plans for a meeting with Rasmussen
during his visit to the Russian capital.
The CSTO comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia,
Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
