Uzbekistan remains in CSTO
Uzbekistan does not secede from the Collective Security Treaty Organization, CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha said in Yerevan. Hearsay on Uzbekistan's secession may be conditioned by suspension of the country's membership in EurAsEC, according to him."Uzbekistan's delegation doesn't participate in current summit due to objective reasons. CSTO leadership was informed about it beforehand," he said.
