Peacekeepers from the Kazakh peacekeeping brigade " Kazbrig ", designated special signs with a checkpoint and blocked the road. Stopped " Hamer " under the guise of humanitarian aid carried small arms: hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers, portable anti-aircraft missile systems and explosives destined for one of the leaders of illegal armed groups.

All these tasks were completed successfully. I assess the actions of the peacekeeping units of the six CSTO member states as successful. I believe that next year, we will improve the level of interaction and solve more capacious and efficiently performed tasks assigned to the CSTO. ”
