CSTO coalition forces are not planned to be used for suppression of disorders and solution of internal political crises in CSTO (Common Security Treaty Organization) states by force, Organization Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha said at a press conference Tuesday. "A domestic political crisis is the affairs of a state, not an aggression from the outside. It is virtually the continuation of the political struggle. Each state has to cope with it on its own," stated Bordyuzha. In his words, the only thing "we can do it to use the political potential of the Organization (CSTO) for the struggle not to pour out into the streets for the street democracy not to "put pressure" upon the authorities, as it took place in the former states of the Soviet Union recently." "It is important to use that potential so that all issues of the political struggle are solved within the constitution," he emphasized. It should be noted that the CSTO includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan, reported Novosti Russian news agency.
