    CIS SECURITY BODY CHIEF SAYS NATO FAILING TO COOPERATE

    Interfax-AVN military news agency website, Moscow
    4 May 06

    Minsk, 4 May: The secretary-general of the Collective Security Treaty
    Organization [CSTO], Nikolay Bordyuzha, says that cooperation between
    NATO and the CSTO is failing to take shape as the alliance does not
    realize its full importance.

    "That is their problem. They fail to understand the situation on a
    global scale regarding security and the modern-day threats that hang
    over mankind. If anyone says they do not see the point of cooperation,
    there must be political reasons at play," Bordyuzha told Interfax in
    Minsk on Thursday [4 May] before the start of the first Belarusian
    information forum, "Media against the challenges and threats of the
    21st century".

    In his view, "it is only joint efforts that can solve problems to do
    with terrorism and extremism and the illegal drugs trade".

    Bordyuzha said: "We are willing to cooperate with any organization
    that stands up for security."

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