Agreement will allow our states to more effectively react to
significant threats, specifically, international terrorism, local
and transboundary crimes, including drug trafficking and regional
conflicts," RF President Dmitri Medvedev told a joint news conference
attended by RA President.
According to Dmitri Medvedev, CSTO leaders have issued a joint
statement reflecting their unified approach to current international
issues. Assessments are given to current external and international
political situation, considering regional threats present in CSTO zone.
Dwelling on CRRF, Medvedev emphasized that the Forces have to be
mobile, yet strong enough to react to most significant threats. "CRRF
has to be capable of solving an extensive range of issues, be
provided with latest military equipment, and possess all the necessary
attributes for the effective work. What we’ve done today by signing
CRRF Agreement, is a step to creating forces to be reckoned with,"
Medvedev stated.
