    CSTO and IOM to take joint efforts in fighting illegal migration
    21.03.2009 17:27 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ A meeting between Secretary General of the
    Collective Security Treaty Organization Nikolai Bordyuzha and Director
    General of the International Organization for Migration William Lacy
    Swing took place in Moscow.

    According to the participants of the meeting, the two organizations
    have developed successful and fruitful cooperation based on the July
    2006 agreement. This cooperation will gain momentum in the future as
    the illegal migration remains a topical issue, Nikolai Bordyuzha and
    William Lacy Swing believe.

    The IOM has an expertise in dealing with migration problems, and is
    well aware of its most sensitive issues. CSTO has a working mechanism
    to handle these issues, in particular within the framework of the
    operation Nelegal which is regularly carried out under the aegis of
    the Collective Security Treaty Organization,â?? Nikolai
    Bordyuzha noted.

    The CSTO hopes that the IOM will help promote cooperation with the
    European Union in order to take control over the whole chain of the
    illegal migration: from the countries of origin and transit which
    include many CSTO participating states to the countries of
    destination.

    William Lacy Swing informed Nikolai Bordyuzha about the IOM activities
    and assured that he will visit all the CSTO states with a view to
    improving the interaction between the two organizations, CSTO Press
    Service reported.
