Heads of staff of the CSTO member states' armed forces have agreed to continue regular monitoring of political and military situation during the first expanded meeting of the CSTO military committee.

The results of the monitoring will be submitted to the general commands of the armed forces of the member states every month, Russian armed forces Chief-of-Staff Valery Gerasimov said.

“Challenges and threats which the CSTO member-states are facing, have a complex character: economic, political and informational,” ITAR-TASS quotes Gerasimov. “That’s why today at the session in Yekaterinburg we agreed to continue the regular monitoring of the military-political situation”.

Armenia is represented at the meeting by Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Yuri Khachaturov.
