Anatoly Sidorov noted that the Collective Rapid Deployment Forces of the Central Asian region created in 2001 against the backdrop of the growing international terrorist threat did not lose relevance at the moment and were an important component of the CSTO collective security system.
He said that the key influence on the development of the situation in the Central Asian region was the situation in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and that in the short term no decrease in the tension of the military and political situation in the region was expected.
