    MOSCOW, June 14


    Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation
    (CSTO) Nikolai Bordyuzha will fly to the Armenian capital Yerevan on
    Tuesday on a working visit.

    He will hold talks on the state of affairs in the Collective Security
    Treaty Organisation, as well as on issues to be put on the agenda of
    the forthcoming CSTO session.

    The press service of the CSTO Secretariat told Itar-Tass, "In the
    course of his trip to the Republic of Armenia CSTO Secretary General
    Nikolai Bordyuzha will inform Armenian President Robert Kocharyan of
    the state of affairs in the organisation." According to the Secretariat
    official, Bordyuzha "also plans to meet the defence minister -
    secretary of the Security Council under the Armenian president."

    "The main purpose of the trip is to inform President Kocharyan
    and other top-ranking officials of the state of affairs in the
    organisation, consider issues to be put on the agenda of the CSTO
    session - the supreme CSTO body, due in the second half of June,
    as well as meetings of charter bodies - the Council of Foreign and
    Defence Ministers and the Committee of Security Council Secretaries,"
    Bordyuzha said on Monday. "Armenia is one of the most active CSTO
    participants," he stressed.

    In the view of Bordyuzha, Armenia's activity is effective in all CSTO
    spheres. The Caucasian (Russian-Armenian) coalition troops (forces)
    group of the CSTO is a considerable component of the organisation's
    force. Armenia takes an active part in combating new challenges
    and threats.

    The working trip of the CSTO chief will last for three days. The
    session of the Collective Security Council and a meeting of charter
    bodies of the CSTO are planned to be held in Moscow on June 22-23.

    CSTO participants are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
    Russia and Tajikistan.
