Member-states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are concerned over the enlargement of NATO military infrastructure immediately near the borders of the organization, CSTO Sec. Gen. Nikolay Bordyuzha stated during the first media forum entitled "The Role and Place of Media in Counteraction of Threats of XXI Century".

He said the growing activity of NATO, the European Union and third countries does not contribute to stability in the post-soviet territories. "In fact, the North Atlantic alliance carries out a policy line of introducing and strengthening the military-political presence of NATO or its separate member-states, including the United States in the Caucasus and the Central Asia," the Sec. Gen. underscored.

Nikolai Bordyuzha also indicated that the matter is about efforts to create competitive to CSTO regional structures aimed at "providing security and the fight against terrorism", RIA "Novosti" reports.

Armenia, Byelorussia, Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are CSTO member-states.
