CSTO to set up crisis response center in Moscow

Senior ministry and agency officials of the alliance of former Soviet states CSTO discussed plans to establish a crisis response center.

"Experts from CSTO ministries and agencies discussed approaches to establishing the crisis response center and considered relevant draft statutes and regulations for information exchange," TASS cited the Collective Security Treaty Organization's spokesman, Vladimir Zainetdinov, as saying.

The new center would be based at an information technology complex for software and hardware development, which is currently being equipped in one of the Russian Defense Ministry’s military towns in Moscow.
