CRRF is a realization of ideas CSTO is founded on
"Collective Rapid Reaction Force is a realization of ideas Collective Security Treaty Organization is founded on. I'm confident that within last year we filled many of decisions taken with specific substance," RA President Serzh Sargsyan told a news conference in Moscow.

According to him, when Armenia assumed CSTO chairmanship, CSTO Member states not only worked on implementation of decisions taken earlier, but also found new ideas.

"I believe much useful work was done. I'd like to point out 2 examples. First - creation of Collective Rapid Reaction Force, second - closer coordination of our external political activities. It was the first time we met before UNO General Assembly and OCSE Foreign Ministers' sittings to develop specific approaches to specific issues," Sargsyan said adding that instances cited serve as a proof of serious work accomplished during a year.
