ArmInfo. Collective Rapid Deployment Force is embodiment of the ideas
laid as a basis of the Collective Security Treaty, Preside of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan said at a press-conference after CSTO Council session
in Moscow.
'I am sure we have brought a specific content in many decisions
made, over the last year. Even a year ago, Armenia accepted the
chairmanship. I used to say that both Armenia and CSTO states will
work over the decisions made and the new ideas, and will introduce new
aspects to the Treaty. In this context, during Armenia's chairmanship,
I would like to point out two moments: creation of CRDF and closer
coordination of the member- states' foreign political activity',
the president said.
S. Sargsyan attached importance to the fact that CSTO member-states
have gathered before the sessions of UN General Assembly and OSCE
Foreign Ministerial Council for the first time, and specific approaches
to specific issues were elaborated during these consultations.
To note, 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. 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.
