/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia has assumed presidency in the Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

position on the situation in Caucasus,’ Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev told a news conference.

`All the member countries condemned Georgia’s aggression against South
Ossetia and supported Russia’s counterblow,’ he said. `Russia stands
for political and diplomatic resolution of all conflicts but it will
firmly defend its interests.’

members of this Organization and we must strengthen our military
cooperation and coordinate activities.’
