/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Robert Kocharian considers the current
composition of the Collective Security Treaty Organization to be optimal. To
remind, presently Armenia, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzsran and
Tajikistan serve on the Organization. Upon completion of the sitting of the
CSTO Collective Security Council (CSC) in Moscow the Armenian President
stated that the military constituent of the organization remains the most
important constituent of the CSTO activities. The Armenian leader expressed
assurance that the CSTO is a dynamically developing organization, but its
greater involvement into the international structures is needed. `We need a
deeper international integration. We have manifested ourselves, however
there is a strong necessity of more federated activities’, Robert Kocharian
noted adding that the issue has become the key subject of the discussion. He
also said there has already emerged the necessity of creating efficient
mechanisms for struggling against terror, drug traffic and other challenges,
