Bordyuzha: CSTO countries one of primary targets of international terrorism

The member-states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are one of the key targets of international terrorism, the organization’s Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha said at the meeting of the organization’s Council of Parliamentary Assembly in Yerevan.

He noted that "increased activity of terrorist and extremist groups in the world and in the region of collective security is a serious threat to security and stability along with so-called hybrid war, strengthening of military groups of NATO countries and provocation of escalation of frozen conflicts in immediate proximity to our borders."

According to the CSTO chief, one of the priority goals of the organization is to combat terrorism and extremism. 

"The force potential of the CSTO is one of the major tools of ensuring the security of the member states, including from the terrorist threat," TASS cited Bordyuzha as saying.
