    ArmInfo. In view of refusal of Belarus to take part in Moscow
    summit of the Collective Security Treat Organization, Armenia has
    handed over the temporary chairmanship in CSTO to Russia, President
    of Russia Dmitry Medvedev said at a press- conference in Moscow,
    ArmInfo correspondent reported.

    'The decision was made by the presidents of CSTO member-states in view
    of absence of our Belarusian counterparts. We decided to hand over
    the temporary chairmanship to Russia as a country which is holding
    the relevant summit', the president said at CSTO Council session.

    To note, the Belarusian delegation, headed by President Alexander
    Lukashenko, refused to participate in CSTO summit and explained its
    step by 'the economic discrimination by one of CSTO member-states'.

    To note, the chairmanship in CSTO passed from Kyrgyzstan to Armenia
    in 2008.

    CSTO members are seven states - Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
    Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
