    /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.
