At the time of its establishment, political impact was supposed to be the key instrument of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), but the situation in the world dictates raising the role of the power component.

The CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha said the aforementioned at the closing ceremony of Indestructible Brotherhood 2016 military exercises on Saturday, RIA Novosti reports.

According to him, the CSTO is an international structure called to ensure the peace and security, as well as the possibility of economic growth and solution of social problems in its member-states.  “Political impact is the key instrument of the organization. However, the situation development tendency only proves the opposite, i.e. the need to raise the power component of the organization,” Bordyuzha noted.

“And in this military cooperation, the Presidents [of CSTO member-states] and the Collective Security Council attach special attention to the peacekeeping component,” he added.  

He also told the journalists that “10 years ago, when we prepared normative documents and worked on the agreement to establish CSTO peacekeeping forces, we didn’t suppose that we would reach such a level of cooperation in relatively such a short period of time.”
