The Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
(CSTO), Nikolay Bordyuzha, and the UN Deputy Secretary General in
charge of Peacekeeping Operations, Herve Ladsous, signed a Memorandum
of Understanding on 28 September 2012 in New York.
The document sets out the conditions for the deployment of CSTO troops
within the framework of UN peacekeeping operations.
The CSTO has carried out studies on the possible deployment of
peacekeeping troops in Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia, Pridnestrovie
and in Syria.
So far, NATO has been the only military pact capable of deploying
peacekeepers under a UN umbrella. From now on, it will be possible
to also count on the "blue chapkas" (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Russia).
On the eve of signing, the foreign ministers of the CSTO countries
held a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. They
examined the possibilities offered by the Memorandum.
