you that so you should have gotten it, so i am the co case hopkins on the front is cool. so you also refer to your home, the veterans, and many others, including myself, suggested that it's really, i'm certainly distasteful to carry on with the sort of what you wrote, the dollars of ceremony was we are, we're going to get to the queen are, is dollars or he's being fine or anything like that, but in britain he simply having well, that was given to him by the quote and taken away. the bulk of russian peacekeepers in kazakhstan has now left the country. that's off to that brief mission there was declared complete with vladimir putin saying it was time they came home with me, it's a sure it is obvious that people who've been protesting for a gas price reduction and those who've been fighting with the armed forces for several days with weapons in the hands surrounding them in places of deployment are completely different people. they have different goals. the fact that with the help

of the c s t o, it was possible to restore the situation is very important to. this is the 1st such operation of the c s t o to allow cassock st on to solve it socio economic issues and a com dialogue with the people. in general, we need to go home. we've completed our task here. the classic authorities requested help from the c s t o in military alliance of the deadly unrest was sweeping the nation triggered originally by protests over fuel prices. a troops from armenia, bella roost, good august on russia and to jacob dan all took part. they arrived in kazakhstan on january the 5th and was tossed with god in ki buildings and infrastructure with order now restored. the last peak peacekeepers are expected to leave the next few days. well, despite the troops being in the country, at the request of the catholic president, western media and politicians were rather quick to claim otherwise. ultimately, alleging the russian contingent in particular, was there to stay and seize territory. is how washington put it one

less than a recent history is that once russians are in your house, sometimes very difficult to get them to leave. well, moscow was a sure we say, rather unimpressed by the us secretary of states remarks saying it revealed more about washington's intentions in your ration. well, that's just about going to wrap up this addition of the weekly for this our life from last going into national being such a busy week, we've got many more highlight still to come with my colleague unit o'neill. he is here in half an hour's time. ah oh

now we have e cigarettes, i was just heard that it was a healthy alternative to cigarettes and do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce our t shirt or making the tobacco up and get over to yours while our officers are facing increasingly dangerous environments, we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops a term that i've heard in the militarization of believe this is an app vehicle we acquired through the 1033 program, very free program with the government program that funnels military property that is no longer used to local law enforcement with building an army over here. and i

can't believe people aren't seeing those thing an agency elder a me cuz it began appealing that ahead. you have to deal with our practice, who you putting in uniform cover bands is a powerful thing. is from tab has like money in play tricks and people mind they think they've done the bad know is what is out the door? very bad. johns, are calling good news. you have job security because the world desperately need, but i think it with, i think we'll put it up unless perhaps you get a quote man. anybody, if you could call them push and push it by. he went to somebody in somewhat of a few minutes. that was 3. so what i still let me stay at the but adults with on the michael me in your school. because if you believe about what will give you hope, all right, from what you,

what would be with you know what this left that up. i know that you like it, but you offer pretty weaker lisa mobile sho projects. mr. daniel bruise so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating. but nobody's lean finger on you, you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was stationed in mosul among them, wordpress positions sleep deprivation,

confusion hypothermia. there's already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrants and children, whatever you do or more comes from home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. the moral authority, the made america will sacrifice the shimmer of effective interrogation but also to us it would them, we have gesture, welcome to our see today our guest is studies loves us secretary general of the collective security treaty organization, misses us. hello, and thank you so much for talking to us today. of course, today we'll mainly focus on carfax ton and the c s. t of peacekeeping mission there . as we know, the peacekeeping force is now withdrawing from the country. does not mean the situation has been fully stabilized with those natural to proceed with, you know,

i actually spent the last 2 days in cassock stone. i visited the capital and al massey, where the operational command is located and where the peace keeping force was mainly deployed. yes, the situation has been stabilized over the last few days. there's been a major shift. we can now say that the government and the law enforcement have the situation across the country under control. we can now safely use the word stabilization unfortunate lee. it's too early to say that things have gone back to normal versus the state of emergency and certain restrictions are still in place. though there are 5 regions where they've been lifted was it's a gradual process. but at this point, we of course cannot say that things have gone back to normal. it's a processes for a process. a job is lamazzo human, those flow, i'm here at the needs. and what are your thoughts on the role of the c s t o, in recent events in kazakhstan, how efficient was the see us? there was assistance to kazakhstan a former share this morning at 4 michigan, her phone numbers to put us both socially for tuna. i believe it was quite an

efficient mission on pace. cape is accomplished the objectives of this operation. as i said, just recently, at the ceremony, marking the withdrawal of the peacekeeping force, these goals were simple to assist our brotherly cassock nation in assuring public safety and stability hold. the peacekeepers succeeded in doing just that. most importantly, the mission has been praised by the people and the president of kazakhstan, little for the summer. it was over this from a federal facility that sher move here. mister is us, all of us have followed the developments in different cities across kazakhstan, especially now multi, we've seen looters and mr. to kind of said that there were some kind of organized militant groups that were attacking and clashing with cassock military. did this is steel, forest face anything of the thought neil wooden up a designated new local investment was compressor. now, at these sites that peacekeepers regarding there was no direct military engagement with the militants or terrorists. over the course of the peacekeeping operation,

i would point out the li peacekeepers had a sobering effect on every one of them. they mainly realised that this is a serious business. so that deployment had that effect. there was definitely a shift, so probably it made some hot heads cool down. and they realized they had no chance of success between bundled up machine me of exit, and then was with sir, what could you tell us about the sentiment of the locals when a foreign peacekeeping forces come into their rescue? did they thank you. i mean, the troops that took part in the operation. that's what usually happens, at least with russian peacekeepers. we saw ordinary people showing their gratitude in one way or another. and then a been understood. no. but if a live promotion was well, the response was good. the people seem to understand why a peacekeeping force was deployed in the country. i suppose they realized that the peacekeepers were there to help them in these tough times and so the locals treated them accordingly. demo clashes or disagreements between the locals and the peacekeepers. over the course of the entire operation, there was no pushback. the local people showed understanding and support. i've

talked to the mayor val massey, the almighty region, and the local authorities were very grateful for our health. the mazda of miss anna was to of homeowners, daughter with us was conflict kazakhstan in bottles. when we will send you an excuse to please, which experts have different opinions and would spark this crisis and how the situation will evolve. what do you believe that the conflict is well and truly over, or is there a possibility that cassock stand will once again faced this kind of, for lack of a better word, disaster and a potential collapse of the government of both was morally by delegates, left mr. the over the stove, what it's ah, i wouldn't say there is a threat of some kind of retaliation or new outbreak. i don't think so. i'm almost entirely convinced it's not possible why. first of all the situation is under control. secondly, a major investigation is underway to get the full picture and determine all the actors involved. measures will be taken in accordance with cassock stands laws. and of course, every one, not only the cassock, people,

but also the leadership learned their lessons. so i don't believe there will be another outbreak like this, or any retaliation, a little briskin or liber. but both of them, when she quoted them was that your poor slow was voluntary. of course, a user person after the collapse of the use sr and the establishment of many sovereign states all at once. after the c, i s. the commonwealth of independent states was established. many of the former soviet republics had to deal with internal strife. the had always been there, but for various reasons, re ignited. there was a lot of violence and many refugees who lost their homes and their futures. many of these countries are still part of frozen territorial conflict with everything. what do you think of the reasons the caea as is plagued by these tragedies that are not possible with hunger will not have a gym or dinner. those who are rough shiver. well, we probably need another interview to elaborate on this topic. in short, we were all part of one huge country that collapsed and these are probably the aftershocks,

the collapse over country like the ussr was bound to have consequences. so if i try to answer this very difficult question in just a few words, i would say that what happened back in the ninety's was one of those reasons, but, but the circumstances are different in each country. so as are the underlying reasons the conflicts, i don't think there is one size fits all explanation. going back to the gratitude by the cassock, people in the last few days i had local people thanking our peacekeepers and every one who was involved in this operation. yesterday, for example, i was having breakfast at the hotel and a guy he's an employee, came up to me and asked if i was stanislaus. disaster said yes, he asked to take a picture with me and i agreed. he said, when i saw you with the peacekeepers. thank you very much. he shook my hand. it's nice. of course. this is what ordinary people think. i had them replica nurse at the of the senate for still not over. i was about or young other keep on with here by is it lot of literate and look at her, you should talk to the taxi drivers in moscow. you'll hear a lot of nice things from them to i would know,

i take taxes all the time. as far as i understand, the peacekeeping operation in kazakhstan was the 1st of its kind for the c t o. i'm sure all kinds of experts are now busy taking stock and my finance strategies for the future. we have all heard president vladimir putin, helen defense minutes to show you that every one did a good job. as the c s t o secretary general, would you say you have learned any lessons from the crisis in kazakhstan, placebo, still tell you that the la conflict of california deuced them, of course, is definitely an important lesson for all of us. and later, when everything is calm down, when the withdrawal is over, we will review it and draw conclusions. take our legal framework or training for our peacekeeping force him. we need to refine that is like he said, is our 1st real operation of this kind. our task now is to review it and adjust our operations if need be. that's perfectly natural that but i don't see any need for major overhaul. the c s t r 's framework and the tools we have proved to be quite effective. so i don't think we need to introduce any fundamental changes,

but we'll make some adjustments. of course, lawyers as unit with mr. garcia, a wooden fence earth to put a mortar with g, but you have the criteria for the most ability. many, even the, some adjustments are probably in order since it was just one operation in one country. i'm sure the framework to ensure security in this region will change. now, some adjustments need to be made to prevent similar crisis from happening in the future. are you considering it is? i think i able, almost thought i would break it down into 2 parts in terms of the way we do things . i'll say it again. no, i don't see the need for any serious rethink we've achieved. the goal we said organization's mission is to collectively insure the security sovereignty and territorial integrity of our member states. and we successfully done that. so we don't need to overhaul the entire framework reforms a needed when the system doesn't work any more. we're saying that our framework is effective that will introduce some adjustments. of course, i don't want to jump the gun right now. let the people who'd been on the ground and

involved in it from the very beginning to the ex post assessment. we talked about backs at our meeting with the peacekeeping forces command. it is clear, we also need to carefully study what happened after the withdrawal is over. this is also true for the people who were there on the ground from day one will involve everyone in this process. and afterwards we'll decide on the adjustments we need to make. oh, join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world of politics, small business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. july, an annual festival in st. petersburg dedicated to dust. i ask you a great writer, thinker and psychologist. people often turn to his work to understand russia and

russians, perhaps even themselves and see what they see on what do you see what they bought, the vehicle of quality needs, changing a rita, transforming them as they read that. so does di, estes's, unique ability to stay on ski, wants to tell us, you can better yourself. he makes you face your true self for you. we keep man beyond conventions, rules of schemes, beyond the boundaries. and the time does de aski is a global brand, whose classics as everyone knows. i'm never out of style with yes. oh, oh, oh i lisa typical, there is only 9, but already 8 university students that away and rational

a new month appointment. let's see. yep. you got the glass, there's doors to deal with a with no recalls with now. bush. right. and you prefer for them? williams? i was the yeah my but i did say the 1st with the fire that was to get on the she was a new i'm sitting this i'm dealing with soon. lose with his teacher was reason is balise. we'll come on this ah ah,

7 digits of thorough stalls. so like i said, is the crisis unfolded in kazakhstan and it was a tragedy really. there were many different interpretations of what was happening. people had mixed opinions about, present talk i of decision to invite c, c o. peacekeepers. some even went as far as compare in the c. s. d. o and nato. i don't know if you appreciated still, we have heard the u. s. expresses dissatisfaction over president archives invitation of the peacekeeping force and kaiser fan. they weren't at all happy when this operation was launched. all the western media eco, the u. s. sentiment that this was an act of aggression by russia against cassock son. he felt an outright military occupation. very few people saw the involvement of the c. c. o speak keeping forest for what it was a genuine attempt to help. now that the operation is almost over and the peacekeeping divisions are leaving the country,

do we have something to respond to the yes. and to all those who have bad mouth, the peacekeepers claimed that russia was occupy in kazakhstan and painted moscow was an aggressor, a good, beautiful overseer, alyssa, 1st let me correct you. on one thing, there were no peace keeping divisions in kazakhstan. the entire force deployed there is less than a single division in strength. you'd think that alone would dispel any one's concerns about aggression or military occupation. it would take a greater force than that, wouldn't. it? of course is all nonsense. as for the peacekeepers mission, there was one goal to assist kazakhstan, and that goal was completed successfully overseas. there's never been any aggressive intent in the actions of the peacekeepers. they were there to protect strategic facilities and essential infrastructure. in other words, they guarded and ensure the continuous functioning of say, the water supply system and central hating in now, massey as well as electricity communications. you name it, is that a bad thing with this was a crisis. and all that infrastructure could be damaged. have the city been left

without heat or water or electricity? it could all have taken a much darker turn and that is what we did was a good thing. it was literally a mission to keep the pace at some paperless night about in the blocks. if you genuinely want the best, because it's down, you should welcome any and all assistance. everything are peacekeepers have done in kazakhstan over the last few days, has clearly had a positive effect on kazakhstan, mozilla. the situation is stable, order has been restored, and people are safe. those are all very positive things. i think that soon, all his finger pointing and allegations will fizzle down to probable. like we say in russia, every one judges, others by their own standards. perhaps i believe that many of the comments we've heard were politically motivated and reasonable people with a more balanced view of the situation. new from the start, there wouldn't be any aggression. the peacekeepers go in, complete their mission and leave given the type of relationship. russia has with

cast on aggression is the last thing that can happen in the summer trying to spin it the other way. but his assistant does this office either she, yesterday moore's law prostate. you missed his us. if you don't mind, i would like to explain something in more detail for our audience or to me. so obvious. of course, if i've been following the developments 247, the peacekeepers were invited to take some of the burden off guys extends own forces. so they could focus on saving the people, right. could you give us the specifics of what our peacekeeping forces were assigned to do in cassock, started chim, even the bill design of the russian middle porch of gisela at her, my bottom was built of, well, like i said, they protected the central city infrastructure. god, a strategic facilities and government buildings. that was the mission. in doing so, we gave some breathing room to cassock, stones, own law enforcement, and military which are weak by any account. and let them focus on the problem at hand. the ro, inforcement had their job to do, and the military had theirs. that was the plan of helping the local forces for was

part of the mission that up or whatever. the difference was him at woodson, the other the worst. and also this helps boost the morale of cause expanse own military says they know that their loved ones back home are safe, that everything is fine or worth of a club. next, obama punishment there. certainly when the 1st plains landed in kazakhstan, it had a positive effect. on the people who were there to contain the crisis, they could see that help was coming on. this is a good way to boost morale. little to do with the lead. yes, it certainly is important. good morale is already half the battle. what's in those were a challenging few days when president talk i have spoke to the nation, he was able to address the complexity of the situation and recognized the threats that the country was facing. scholars, listerman, sidney thins, lovett, additional other yamaha, 13 omega mres us. let's switch gears. i'd like to talk about something less stressful, if i'm not mistaken. the organization celebrates to anniversaries this year. one is

the 30th anniversary of the collective security treaty, and the other is the 20th anniversary of the collective secure city organization. the 20th anniversary of the c t o. for the 1st time, a peacekeeping contingent from all the member states was deployed. if you could share with us your feelings about these 2 milestones, what has been achieved so far, and what the future holds for us. new members, perhaps i would really like to hear what you feel about these to very significant dates. the other will to belinda than us. but it's a yes, we have anniversaries this year. 30 years since the collective security treaty was signed in 20 years since the organisation was founded on the one hand that is a considerable period of time. but on the other hand, of course, it is but a blink of an eye. nevertheless, all the member states of achieve so much progress over these years. and that's worth noting, we've come a long way from the initial idea of establishing a legal framework coming up with forces and resources, as well as a framework to use these forces to provide collective training for the personnel

and troops. so what we have now is a well functioning organization and the recent events have proven that the c s t o is an effective mechanism that can ensure the security of its members states under any circumstances. i think that's the sentiment we have as we are approaching these anniversaries, would of course, is also a good opportunity to take a little break from the current affairs and take a look at the big picture, an outline of vision for the future that the machine and what we've established a process for this as well. we're now taking stock of what's been done and looking at promising future avenues and do and at the summit at the end of the year, we will present this vision for the consideration of our heads of state. we want to evolve the situation developing in the c s t o 's area of responsibility dictates the need to strengthen our organization with banana shows us like more. it is also safe to say that this is still is currently the dominant force in its area of responsibility. the missile must effect. yes,

we definitely are. and there is one more thing. other objective is to develop relations with other agencies, international organizations that deal with security matters. i think that this is something we will do as well. the of the most of the control for them of a plethora, much of a sudden just as the re, miller is cooperation with other alliances with other agencies, productive overall or is the c s t o still treated with apprehension and caution or has the see still had to prove its importance for the region for the people in the region 1st to be taken with all the seriousness of the organization deserves were much less if the face of years to glory, the florida look over like, you know, we have different relationships with international organizations with some we enjoy a win win cooperation. for example, we coordinate our counter terrorism efforts with the shanghai cooperation organization that we have good relations with the i c e that we've established go

to professional relations with united nations. mainly on matters concerning peacekeeping and the fight against terrorism had also good groundwork has been laid there. as for other organizations, let me put it this way, but they say that very little cooperation or none whatsoever. but that is just how things are, or there's no need to fuss over it. we believe though, it's certainly not helping to improve collective security here in eurasia where we live. so it would be beneficial for all of us if we were to build normal relations . 3rd, and then one last question though or some along that because of it. so i guess it's important to lead by example to make more sovereign countries want to join an organization that brings piece everywhere or is the time i try to? yes, up the book i am with nathan brown. no, you're right. it is important to be appealing to all other states agencies and international organizations. and i think we're doing a good job in this regard, which there are many countries we cooperate and have normal and friendly relations with. and they take part in the events held by the c s t o,

and they do so gladly and regulate rewards. so we have been doing all that and i think we will see more of this will be seen by others. an example of an affective arrangement that are you open to my level? finance? i believe it's thank you. last that was dennis. loves us your secretary general of the collective security treaty organization. good bye. this is a here. oh, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. the only personally i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successfully,

very critical of time. time to sit down and talk oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.

while our officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment, we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops. the term that i've heard in the militarization of believe this is an amber vehicle the prior to the 1033 program, 1033 program of the government program that follows military property that is no longer use to local law enforcement. with building an army over here, and i can't believe people aren't c a t anything me. it began a feeling that i had to have to deal with our practice who you putting in uniform cover bands is a powerful thing for him to have money in play. tricks and people mind they think they can. the bad know is what was out the door. very bad, johns are coming. good news. you have job security because the world desperately need, but you have to get in
