CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha considers that the world's hot spots, illegal drugs, terrorism, and confrontation between the West and Russia will affect the security of the CSTO member states in 2017, reports RIA Novosti.

"I see three categories of the issue, which we will face. The first is hot spots of either unresolved conflicts, like in Afghanistan, Karabakh, Donbass, Transnistria, and Syria. The second category includes traditional problems: illegal drugs, terrorism, emergency situations of technogenic character, "he told reporters. The third category, according to Bordyuzha, is the confrontation between the West and Russia and the lack of co-operation in the fight against terrorism.
