PanARMENIAN.Net - The summit of Collective Security Treaty Organization
(CSTO) is designated to consider regional threats, including the
threat of extremist groups encroachment, said Nikolay Bordyuzha,
CSTO Secretary General.
"CSTO is worried about both global and regional challenges," Bordyuzha
told Russian President during a meeting.
"The biggest problem is that many young people from the alliance's
member states have been provided training in camps in Afghanistan and
Pakistan and there is a threat of terrorist groups forcing their way
into the Central Asian countries' territory," said Secretary General.
Bordyuzha also considers dangerous the fundamentalist Islamic
organizations' activeness in the CSTO countries.
"It is planned to discuss assistance to several states at the CSTO
summit; the situation in Kyrgyzstan, Belarus and Armenia has been
studied within the preparations for the summit," said Secretary
General.
CSTO summit is due on August 12 in Astana. President Sargsyan will
depart for Kazakhstan to participate in the unofficial summit.
Currently, the President left for a short vacation, part of which he
will spend abroad. On August 11, Mr. Sargsyan will participate in the
ceremony dedicated to completion of Armenia sailboat's world cruise;
the ceremony is due in the town of Limassol, Cyprus.

Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
