The leaders of Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are
going to travel to Kyrgyzstan to attend the informal summit of CSTO
leaders, Russian media reports.

The CSTO, which comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, agreed in early February to set
up the rapid-reaction force, transforming CSTO into a more NATO-like
military alliance, armed with modern compatible weapons and military
hardware.

It’s worth mentioning that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is due
to arrive in Kyrgyzstan to attend the informal summit.
