    MOSCOW, August 4 -- Draft documents on the CSTO peacekeeping activity
    are ready, said Valery Semerikov, deputy secretary-general of the
    Collective Security Treaty Organisation.

    The CSTO secretary-general told Itar-Tass on Thursday, "The CSTO
    strengthens and it is necessary to create its own peacekeeping
    potential in order to ensure stability and security in the CSTO
    responsibility zone and involve the CSTO in U.N. peacekeeping
    operations."

    He recalled, "In June 2004 the CSTO supreme body - the CSTO Council
    - approved a concept on the creation and functioning of the CSTO
    peacekeeping activity and instructed to prepare necessary documents."

    "Draft documents are being worked out. They will lay a necessary
    foundation for the CSTO peacekeeping activity. Draft documents are
    being coordinated by members states of the CSTO - Armenia, Belarus,
    Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan," Semerikov said.

    On Wednesday, CSTO member-states are working on an agreement on
    interstate programmes for basic and applied research. Semerikov
    told Itar-Tassdraft agreement is finalised and submitted to CSTO
    member-states for consideration.

    The agreement "will become a legal foundation for solving foreign
    political, military and military-technical problems. It will help
    counteract trans-national challenges and threats to security posed
    to CSTO member-states within interstate programmes," the CSTO deputy
    director general said.

    The draft agreement is being coordinated by Armenia, Belarus,
    Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
