YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS: Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
received today Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO) Nikolay Bordyuzha.

Presidential press service told Armenpress that greeting the guest
the president said that this is the first meeting after passing the
chairmanship of the organization and re-appointment of Bordyuzha in
the office.

Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude for joint effective work and
expressed his satisfaction toward the tempo of cooperation within
the framework of the CSTO and pointed out that serious work has been
carried out during the recent times. "It is very possible that this
is the first very good precedent when the so to say orally adopted
decision in short period of time became a document, and not only CSTO
operative reaction joint forces have been established but military
exercises have already been conducted. I am sure that in near future
we will develop a package of normative acts and our Organization will
become the establishment ensuring the security of its member states,"
the president said.

Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude to Nikolay Bordyuzha for operative
and effective work, noting that in that connection he signed a decree
on awarding him Armenia’s highest state order – Order of Honor.

Accepting Armenia’s state order with gratitude, the CSTO secretary
general said that he views it as an advance and will do everything
for the active work of the establishment.
