    PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman commented on
    the report about postponement of CSTO's Collective Rapid Reaction
    Force joint military drills in Armenia.

    "Armenian side never specified dates for the military exercises.

    Mid-September was mentioned as the possible time," Artsrun Hovhannisyan
    told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    Dwelling on the exercises, Mr. Hovhannisyan noted that the preparatory
    works are currently in the final stage, with the first groups expected
    to arrive already on Sept. 3-4.

    He further said that Armenian Defense Ministry will specify the number
    of the participants in the days to come.

    CSTO's Collective Rapid Reaction Force joint military exercises have
    been shifted from Sept. 3-8 to Sept. 15-19 over technical reasons at
    the request of the Armenian side.

    The maneuvers will bring together military units from Armenia,
    Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan, as well
    as representatives from International Committee of the Red Cross
    (ICRC), UN, OSCE and CIS observers. The number of troops involved
    totals about 2000 people, CSTO press service reported.
