    CSTO TO ESTABLISH REGIONAL MILITARY INTEGRATION SYSTEMS

    YEREVAN, March 2 (RIA Novosti) - The Collective Security Treaty
    Organization (CSTO) plans to establish several different types of
    regional integration military systems, the post-Soviet security
    grouping's general secretary said Monday.

    "The collective security system within the CSTO framework is currently
    being built according to a regional principle. There exist several
    regional military groupings - Russian-Belarusian, Russian-Armenian and
    now the issue of creating a Central Asian group is being considered,"
    Nikolai Bordyuzha told journalists.

    The CSTO comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia,
    Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

    Russia and Belarus recently signed an agreement to establish a united
    air defense system.

    "This is the first step toward the creation of such regional systems,"
    Bordyuzha said.

    He also said the CSTO's collective rapid reaction forces would not
    interfere in the domestic conflicts of its member countries, adding
    however that the final decision on their deployment would rest with
    the organization's heads of state.
