/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The upper chamber of the Uzbekistani parliament
approved Friday the bill "On joining of the Republic of Uzbekistan to
the Collective Security Treaty" and a number of legal acts referring
to the procedure.
Re-joining the Treaty will offer Uzbekistan a possibility to purchase
military hardware at prices fixed within Russia.
"The republic’s decision to join the CSTO is based on the principles
of stability, international and regional security, non-use of
force, territorial integrity and sovereignty of member states,"
the parliamentarians said, Interfax reports.
The CSTO brings together 6 out of 15 former soviet republics: Russia,
Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Uzbekistan
suspended its membership in 1998.
