organization in the capital Yerevan, the government press service said.

Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has proposed that a CSTO
Academy be opened in Yerevan, to be co-founded by the CSTO Institute,
its Yerevan branch, and the Russian Foreign Ministry's A.M.

The project is designed, among other things, to promote "favorable
