    The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) intends to
    create a large military group of forces in Central Asia, Interfax
    reported. The CSTO unites Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kirghizia,
    Kazakhstan, Tadjikistan and Uzbekistan.

    The group of forces in Central Asia is aimed at securing stability and
    security in the region in view of the aggravation of the situation
    in Afghanistan, said CSTO Secretary Nikolay Bordyuzha. "This group
    of forces must be ready to repulse any threat to sovereignty of our
    states," the official pointed out.

    The group of forces will unite divisions of Russia, Kazakhstan,
    Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan and Kirghizia. Its basis will be the CSTO
    joint rapid-reaction forces of ten battalions.

    Bordyuzha didn't specify where the new group of forces will be based,
    and gave no details about its strength and weapons.
