Baku. Zumrud Pashayeva – APA. The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has decided to suspend efforts aimed at establishing dialogue with NATO, CSTO Secretary-General Bordyuzha said Thursday during a session of the organization's parliamentary assembly, APA reports quoting ITAR-TASS.
Bordyuzha said the decision was made in view of what he described as “unconstructive and very often openly hostile initiatives by the EU and NATO towards Russia and the CSTO.”
He declared that the CSTO would follow a policy of further expansion of cooperation with the OSCE and also take steps to bolster cooperation with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China, Iran, and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The CSTO includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
