President Serzh Sargsyan today received the Secretary General
of the Collective Security Treaty organization (CSTO) Nikolay
Bordyuzha. Armenia currently presides over the Organization, and
President of the CSTO Board Serzh Sargsyan discussed with Nikolay
Bordyuzha issues related to the organization of the recurrent summit
of the Organization, and shaping its agenda.

The Armenian President attached importance to the constant
improvement of CSTO activity and noted that it will allow resisting the
contemporary challenges more efficiently. According to Serzh Sarhsyan,

directions of CSTO activity, President Sargsyan said Armenia will
uphold the efforts for coordinating the joint work, making full and
