The Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
(CSTO), Nikolai Bordyuzha, is planning to meet with Armenia’s top
military and political leadership while on a working visit to the
country on January 12 – 14.

"The trip is part of preparations for the Organization’s planned
summit and will focus on measures to implement the decisions of the
CSTO leaders’ informal meeting held in Kazakhstan in December 2008,"
Bordyuzha told Interfax-AVN before flying out to Yerevan.

Armenia is currently presiding in the Organization, "and its position
on how to improve the CSTO activity is particularly important for us,"
he said.

CSTO members are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia
and Tajikistan.
