The West is obviously seeking to disrupt the integration process in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) expanse, Mikhail Evdokimov, director of the First Department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told RIA Novosti.

"In this situation, it is especially important to adapt the security mechanisms working in the CIS to modern realities, to combine work within the framework of the Commonwealth with the CSTO and the SCO [(Shanghai Cooperation Organization)]; that activity continues," Evdokimov added.

He stressed that in this work it is important to be flexible and creative, and not to be limited to any format, but to apply the most effective practice of each of them.

To note, Armenia is also a CIS member country.
