Caucasus - Bordyuzha
MOSCOW Jan 11
The exercises due to be held the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO) member states in Armenia in spring 2008 will not
aggravate the situation in Caucasus, CSTO Secretary General Nikolai
Bordyuzha said.
"When proposing the exercise, we were taking into account all the
difficulties of the situation in the Caucasus," he told the media in
Moscow on Friday.
It will be a command post exercise without any major redeployment of
forces in the region, he said. "Moreover, it will be an antiterrorist
exercise," he added.
"These exercises are not aimed at increasing tensions between
Azerbaijan and Armenia," Bordyuzha said, adding that he hoped Baku
officials understand this.
International observers have been invited for the exercise, he added.
