MOSCOW. May 25 (Interfax-AVN) - Officials of the foreign ministries of Armenia, Belarus and Tajikistan are concerned over the situation around their countries.
The officials made statements to this effect at the consultations in Moscow on Wednesday. The consultations address the situation in the activity area of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and plans of coalition cooperation.
Alexander Baicharov, chief of the Belarussian Foreign Ministry's department for arms control and international security, said, "Belarus has been the target of a large-scale attack and pressure lately, as we are mainly accused of lack of democracy in the regime existing in the republic."
Arman Akopian, chief of the Armenian Foreign Ministry's department for arms control and international security, said, "Azerbaijan and Turkey are conducting the policy of Armenia's political and military isolation."
Tajik Deputy Foreign Minister Abdunabi Sattorov analyzed the situation in Central Asia, which is not stable either, he said.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Razov fully supported the statements of the Belarissian, Armenian and Tajik officials. "At the present time, speaking about the area of the CSTO activity, we are mostly concerned with the increasing drug trafficking from Afghanistan, which has nearly doubled in a year," Razov said.
