CSTO intensifies work to counter attempts to apply 'color revolution' know-how to its members - Bordyuzha

MOSCOW. June 16 (Interfax) - Attempts are being made to apply the 'color revolution technology' to members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization's member-countries, CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha said.

"We have been observing such attempts," Bordyuzha said at State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin's meeting on Monday with the leaders of the CSTO member-states' parliamentary delegations to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

The meeting was attended by representatives of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Bordyuzha also briefed colleagues on the latest decisions made by the CSTO's structures, saying that contacts with the new Afghan leadership are to be intensified. "The Afghan side is expected to be involved in such areas of the CSTO's activities as operations to counter drug trafficking, and to block extremist and terrorist group access to the CSTO member-countries, as well as cooperation in ensuring the security and joint strengthening of the Tajik-Afghan border."

"Intensive cooperation in countering attempts to apply 'color revolution technology' to the CSTO member-states is an important aspect of the organization's work," Bordyuzha said.
