    CSTO to form working expert groups on fighting terrorism

    MOSCOW


    The working expert groups on fighting terrorism and extremism and
    opposing illegal immigration will be formed at the Security Council's
    Secretaries Committee (SCSC) of member-countries of the Collective
    Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Tass learned from the CSTO
    secretariat's press service.

    "During the meeting of the Permanent Council under the CSTO on
    Tuesday the plenipotentiary representatives of Armenia, Belarus,
    Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan coordinated draft
    provisions for the working expert groups on fighting terrorism and
    extremism and opposing illegal immigration at the Security Council
    Secretaries Committee (SCSC) of the countries participating in the
    CSTO," says the report.

    Toktasyn Buzubayev, the deputy secretary-general of the CSTO, said,
    "The groups will become working bodies of the SCSC to execute the
    decisions taken." "The groups come into being because of the need to
    coordinate under the auspices of the security councils the efforts of
    various ministries and agencies for fighting terrorism and
    extremism," he said.

    The working groups will be drafting on instruction of the SCSC the
    proposals for joint practical measures of CSTO countries to fight
    terrorism and check illegal immigration, and will participate in
    analysing, assessing and supplying information needed to fulfil the
    tasks of the SCSC.

    The drafts coordinated on Tuesday require the endorsement at the
    level of the councils of foreign ministers, defence ministers and the
    SCSC. After that they will be referred to the meeting of the supreme
    body, the Collective Security Council, in which member- countries of
    the CSTO participate.
