Under the conditions of controversial public interests and the
threat of international terrorism the security of a separate state
can be ensured only thanks to collective efforts. The Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) provides that opportunity to
its seven members, Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia
Hrayr Karapetyan noted during the sitting of the Defense and Security
Commission of the CSTO Interparliamentary Assembly held at the National
Assembly today.
According to him, besides the cooperation in the military-technical,
military-economic and military-education spheres, one of the main
functions of the CSTO is fighting against corruption, illegal
drug trafficking, and illegal migration. Besides, creation of the
information security system is in the focus of attention today.
NA Vice-Speaker attached importance to the activity of the
parliamentary body of the CSTO, which should ensure the legal side
of the organization's activity.
Turning to Armenia's presidency of the CSTO, Hrayr Karapetyan quoted
Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha as saying that Armenia is a
reliable partner checked by time and the main role-player of the CSTO
in the region.
The Vice-Speaker reminded that a number of arrangements were held in
Armenia within the framework of the CSTO in 2008, "Ru bezh 2008" joint
military exercises were successfully conducted, and on September 5
Armenia assumed the presidency of the CSTO. He also reminded the words
of the Armenian President that during its presidency Armenia will make
every effort to raise the effectiveness of the organization's activity.
