/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The idea of creating CSTO Rapid Reaction Forces
(RRF) is a key issue, therefore, it is necessary to legalize the
initiative. RF President Dmitry Medvedev said during a meeting with
CSTO Secretary General Nickolay Borduzha.

"Certain time has passed since CSTO held its extraordinary session in
which parties adopted decision on creating rapid reaction forces. As
we see today, the idea is of key importance in modern world in view
of continuing threats, such as terrorism, drug trafficking etc.,"
Dmitry Medvedev emphasized.

RF President stressed the importance of preparing documents for
legalizing RRF activities. Nickolay Borduzha told President Medvedev
that the document package was prepared prior to the regular CSTO
Summit due on June 14. The package includes agreement on creating
rapid reaction forces, appendixes, rules of conduct and documents
determining the structure of RRF military formations ,as well as a
register of forces.

As noted by Mr. Borduzha, significant work has been carried out
since the CSTO extraordinary session. ‘All the documents are agreed
upon and prepared on a high level,’ CSTO Secretary General said. "We
studied the international experience of forming rapid reaction forces
and conducted over 30 sessions with the participation of experts,
including high level professionals," Vesti.ru reports.

CSTO member states are Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The agreement on forming rapid
reaction forces was signed in Moscow on February 4, 2009.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
