Putin: Russia committed to strengthening CSTO

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday, December 9 that Moscow is committed to strengthening the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Putin made the remarks at talks with the parliament speakers of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly. Armenia did not take part in the meeting, as Yerevan suspended its participation in the CSTO earlier this year.

“We are firmly committed to the task of strengthening the organization, increasing its authority in ensuring peace and stability throughout the vast Eurasian space,” Putin said during the meeting held in Moscow.

He told the parliament speakers that cooperation within the Russia-led intergovernmental military alliance is built in the “spirit of alliance, military brotherhood and mutual assistance.”

He said that Russia stands united for the “formation of a fair multipolar world order, equal and indivisible security, respect for each other's sovereign interests and the right of each to its own development model.”
