AKIPRESS.COM - The countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) signed an agreement on military contingent and cargo transportation on September 15 in Dushanbe, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said.

"An agreement was signed on cooperation in the sphere of transporting military contingent and moveable property as well as military-purpose products," Sargsyan told TASS following the CSTO summit.

The Armenian leader added that the CSTO members also decided to extend an agreement on the logistics and technical support of railways in the countries of the post-Soviet security bloc.

CSTO leaders have approved a decision on introducing rotation for the post of the secretary general, CSTO chief Nikolay Bordyuzha said.

"It was considered useful to switch in the future to the rotation system of the general secretary’s post. The heads of state set the task to devise a respective draft decision by December and make changes in the regulatory framework and the CSTO Charter, what we will do now," Bordyuzha said.

The Collective Security Treaty was signed in 1992 and the Organization itself was set up 10 years later. Russia, which held the presidency in the CSTO, passed the rotating chair this year to Tajikistan.

The CSTO, which is comprised of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, regularly holds military drills on the territories of its member states.
