Informal CIS Top Summit Opening in Moscow July 21

PanARMENIAN.Net - 2-day informal summit of the leaders of the CIS member states is opening in Moscow tomorrow. Turkmenistani President Saparmurat Niyazov, who seems to avoid such meetings lately, is most likely not to arrive in the Russian capital. The arrival of Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko is also doubted. The agenda of the summit includes two principal issues - the assessment of global developments and the CIS reformation. "Being the CIS chairman the Russian President invited his counterparts to arrive in Moscow for an informal summit without a precisely outlined agenda and discuss the ways of CIS reformation," said assistant to the Russian leader Sergey Prikhodko, reported Vzglyad.



Presidents of Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are expected to attend the summit.
