/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Rumors on CIS collapse are strongly
exaggerated. Commonwealth develops dynamically, and key issue today is
the creation of joint armed forces, Alexander Sinaysky, Secretary of
CIS Council of Defense Ministers, told journalists Monday. "Military
cooperation within Commonwealth will develop. The principal issue at
the current stage is the creation of joint armed forces," he noted.
"CIS will not die. It's a normal regional organization created in
certain political conditions. Considering present-day circumstance,
it is simply changing its predestination," Sinaysky said.
"Currently we are facing more and more problems. These include not
only political and economic but also security challenges," he added.
CIS countries are not isolated, confirmed Valery Yevnevich, Chief of
the Russian Armed Forces' Main Combat Training and Service Department.
"Our joint task consists in protecting states, and the contest which
started today is a confirmation of that," Yevnovich stated.
"First Guy" contest started Monday in Alabino, Moscow area. By the
decision of CIS Defense Ministers, it has been granted the status of
international contest. Participants represent 8 countries: Armenia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Moldova, Ukraine and
Russia. Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan refused participate
with economic considerations, RIA Novosti reports.
