/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The upper chamber of the Uzbekistani parliament
approved Friday the bill "On joining of the Republic of Uzbekistan to
the Collective Security Treaty" and a number of legal acts referring
to the procedure.

Re-joining the Treaty will offer Uzbekistan a possibility to purchase
military hardware at prices fixed within Russia.

"The republic’s decision to join the CSTO is based on the principles
of stability, international and regional security, non-use of
force, territorial integrity and sovereignty of member states,"
the parliamentarians said, Interfax reports.

The CSTO brings together 6 out of 15 former soviet republics: Russia,
Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Uzbekistan
suspended its membership in 1998.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
