To consolidate ties in the CIS it is necessary first of all to
implement the existing agreements, Russian Federation Council Chairman
Sergei Mironov said when answering questions of Yerevan University
students.
Mironov heads the Council of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly.
The CIS authority in the world is sharply higher at present, he noted.
First of all, it is CIS leaders' contribution, and the Armenian
president's contribution is considerable in the process, Mironov
added.
The CIS corporative interests should be used more actively in
international organisations, such as the PACE for example, he noted.
The channel is used poorly now when CIS common interests are defended
and in elections to international structures, he said.
Common fight against terrorism must be a serious step in consolidation
of CIS ties.
First of all, it is necessary to create common legal approaches to it
and block channels to finance gunmen.
There must be no double standards in approaches to terrorism and its
assessments, Mironov stressed.
The speaker thanked Armenian people for the sympathy for Russia in
connection with the recent acts of terror, including in Beslan.
The Russia-Georgia-Armenia transport problem should be solved jointly
with CIS members' participation, the speaker said.
The transport route between Russia and Armenia across Georgia should
be opened with all the partners taken into account, he noted.
The university staff honoured the memory of terrorism victims.
