Strugovets told ArmInfo. To recall, OSCE summit will also start in
Helsinki today. ‘CSTO member-states will come out from a single stance
at the session of OSCE Foreign Ministerial Council concerning a new
Agreement on the European Security. Prior to the OSCE ministerial
meeting to be held on December 4 in Helsinki, informal meeting of CSTO
member-states’ foreign ministers will also be held in Helsinki, during
which a unified stance on the new Agreement on European Security will
be developed’, CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha said before
leaving for Helsinki.
‘The heads of CSTO member-states have already supported the initiative
of Russia on development of the Agreement on European Security at
Mosocw summit in September 2008, that was fixed in the Declaration of
CSTO Collective Security Council session. During November consultations
of CSTO member-states’ foreign ministers held in CSTO Secretariat,
this stance was confirmed once more’, N. Bordyuzha emphasized. CSTO
Secretary General will take part both in OSCE FMC and in the informal
meeting of CSTO foreign ministers.
