YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The real goal of establishment of
CSTO collective rapid reaction force is to suppress social revolts
in the CIS territory. Political scientist Manvel Sargsian expressed
such an opinion at the February 11 press conference. According to him,
15 thousand soldiers will be included in the above mentioned forces,
and "such a small army is not an army but police." "Our authorities
are ready to bring detachments consisting of Uzbeks into the capital
regiment, as a foreigner better disperses mass actions than one’s
own troops," M. Sargsian said.
