we want to evolve the situation developing in the c s t o 's area of responsibility dictates the need to strengthen our organization. and what sort of banana shows us like more . it is also safe to say that the c t o is currently the dominant force in its area of responsibility. the missile with the tuck? 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. yeah, the most of the top of them. but a plumber for much of a fellow, just as the human 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 c a 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 yours was to glory, the fools were to look over. like, you know, we have different relationships with international organizations. with some we enj

so the fact that with the health 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 it calm dialogue with the people in general, we need to go home. we've completed the task. the cars, like authorities, of course, had requested help from the c s t o military alliance off the deadly unrest with sweeping the nation triggered ultimately by protest over hyped fuel prices. the troops from all mania belo ruth could have guessed on russia to cheapest on all of them were taking part. they arrived in kazakhstan on january the 5th and were tasked with god and key buildings on infrastructure and with order now restored. the last allied peacekeepers are expected to leave context on in just the next few days. though the troops were in the country, out of invitation of the catholic president, a western media and politicians were quick to insinuate otherwise, basically alleging that the whole russian contention in particular was that to stay in seas. territory is how washi

but to call in the c s t o lions for support and without who knows what state conflicts would be in right now. the c s t o lines is basically 6 countries made up of 6 countries as a small group, that is a former soviet bloc. so bella russo mania, as you said, tajikistan quickest on russia of course, context on as well during this time though, when, when context on asked for help, a lot of the western media and some key politicians also said they won't, does it look out? you don't want to rushes health care because if russia gets involved is going to try and take advantage of the situation. get a foothold in the country kind of tabloid, he comments, to be honest with you. but, but how's that pounding out for russia? there was such a huge focus on russia entering a foreign country at this time. there was little mention of the other countries in the alliance which were also offering support to cosmic sound. but it seemed like the mainstream media took this as a perfect opportunity to be some russia scare mongering, rushes entering this foreign country. and we saw these sensationalized headli

like all citizens, we waited for the c s t o soldiers to arrive. the troops are at different points coming into us now the russian president has, in the past few minutes spin, addressing the c s t o security council is the military alliance conducts its peacekeeping mission, in catholics down. here's what he had to say. shift must serious question at this meeting. that is a matter of great concern for all of us. so this is the situation in kazakhstan, but just as mr. luca shanker said, class applies to all of us, and we all know that the president of a ton, mr. clive deliveries applied with the c s t o and always member of state and ask for assistance since he's pretty city in his country and member state of the c t o has faced unprecedented challenges and threat to its security. integrity and sovereignty. we understand that we try to catch a state hood was not related to protest, spurred by fuel price increases, but this was the act of internal and external forces. when you had me, there were people who protested against the fuel price increases fo

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

so a lot of the guys involved are those involved with the c s t o they're calling this mission completed g. think they have honestly accomplish their mission less than a week after they were deployed to can't extend the c s t trips will begin their withdrawal today with catholic sand now in a much more stable position than it was a week ago. i t infrastructure has been secured, according to the russian defense minister stake actually gave a report it to president putin. he'll says that as soon as she's in today, the situation is stable. we are working in full cooperation. we have approved a decision on the phased withdrawal and returning of infrastructure back to cause it's dawn mission to day. we start to withdraw. and furthermore, within 5 days as the infrastructure is transferred, the withdrawal will continue and we plan to complete it on the 19th. now, until the 19th, when those final trips will leave contracts down the state of emergency and contracts down a will remain in place. understandably, the country is still in a state of shock. its been through so much in such a short amoun

t. o. the alliance answered please from the catholic president to help restore law and order. and the c s t o. secretary general says that the peacekeeping troops, with the sole purpose of helping context on in this difficult period city is lost though all of these insinuations about our troops like we're going to break up demonstrations are not true. that's what the cars like leases for. they will do their job and our job is slightly different. some rumors about an intervention occupation and other things started to spread. it's just stupid. i once again state . this is the c s t o countries move to support kazakhstan and such a difficult period. this is the main reason for decision. there's no other reason for it. as soon as the situation stabilizes, the operation will be suspended on the troops will be pulled out. so it's unpleasant 1st to hear that we're literally sees an opportunity. it's fake. c, s t o countries show willingness and sincerity in helping context on that through such a trouble period. however, the white house press secretary gen, sorry. he says that washington has som

the fact that with the help of the c s t o, it was possible to restore the situation is very important. this is the 1st such operation of the c s t o. here to allow has extra on to solve it socio economic issues. and it calm dialogue with the people in general, we need to go home. we've completed our task less than a week after they were deployed to context on the c s t. trips will begin their withdrawal today with catholic sand now in a much more stable position than it was a week ago. i t infrastructure has been secured, according to the russian defense minister say, showing he reported to president putin. he says that this was your machine. today the situation is stable. we are working in full co operation. we have approved a decision on the phased withdrawal and returning of infrastructure back to cause it's dawn to day we start to withdraw. and furthermore, within 5 days, as the infrastructure is transferred, the withdrawal will continue and we plan to complete it on the 19th. now until the 19th, when those final trips will leave contracts down, the state of emergency in kazakhsta

and we're and well, now we'll have to just see if the peacekeeping for so the c a c s, t o peacekeeping force will do its job and will do exactly what people and the government and those who do not want any more violence on the streets. are expecting from it and that well is to bring peace to this land. was there she carries the season, buildings and infrastructure, including sites, housing, firearms. they've also captured the airports and 5 planes, including foreign ones, ebelin forces, and are fighting them outside almighty. these terrorist gangs are essentially international. they've undergone serious training abroad. their attack and cast on must be viewed as an act of aggression. therefore, on the basis of the collective security treaty i have today appealed to the heads of the c s t o states to assist kazakhstan and overcoming this terrorist threat. in fact, this is no longer threat. it is undermining the integrity of the states. it is an attack on our citizens who asked me as the head of state to urgently help them. i considered the appeal to the c s. j states to be absolutely ap

and these are, these are all members of the c s t o. the reason seems to be that with dr. justification at least let's say is that she has identified these protesters as groups of bandits as terrorists. and that would allow for him to invoke the, the cfo article that would enable him to bring in foreign foreign troops. but are these really foreign funded terrorists if he is made out or are they are the democracy defendants? are they people who want to see reforms in this country, or are they armed warms remnants or billions to the former president knows who knows by and he's met his people who control still significant parts of the country or, or who are allegiance to him. it said mr. president, so kind of may not be giving away all the information that he has and, and it's costing the story in a particular light in order to have it brought in the c s t o foreign peacekeeping force. there is an awful lot of confusion at the moment, especially with the internet down. we will endeavor to, to try to update views with information about what

they have different goals are the fact that with the health 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 people to allow cassock st on to solve it. socio economic issues and com dialogue with the people in general, we need to go home. we've completed our task now until the 19th. when those final troops will leave context on the state of emergency and contacts down will remain in place. understandably, the country is still in a state of shock. it's been through so much in such a short amount of time, just 2 weeks. is that there for the time frame. so now the peacekeepers are planning that to leave the country. it's also become very apparent at the evolution of the c s t o which previously which is considered to be a mouthpiece. now it's shown it can be very effective, a can be very helpful. our president psychiatry kind of like stand a leader. he expressed his gratitude to the framework. i would like to express my gratitude to the mission commanders for the job they did over these days. the c s t a peacekeep

this is the 1st time the c s t o has been used in this fashion. so cause excel is an enormous country with key energy issues, and it has practice a multi vector policy. so that means that they are just in the russian orbit any longer. it's the country for 30 years. they've had this kind of interesting relationship. and china has made incredible inroads of influence in cause it's done as well. so it's a country where between 2 major powers of russia and china, and it's a key player on china's belts and road initiative. and she can pig signature policy and to build kind of an idea of the old road and have economic instruments. but the other key aspect about this is the energy cousin sent a huge producer energy and the export by pipeline to china. and during that heyday, when i was in moscow, in the old guy coated kosky was actually put in prison because he had the temerity to try to negotiate building a pipeline, an independent pipeline from cause it's done to china, directly circumventing russia's kind of monopoly on pipelines. in the old soviet un

c. s t. o member states did not stop for a single day. we are also extremely concerned about the fact that isis militants are strengthening their positions in afghanistan. according to our intelligence services, steve increased in strength to more than 6000 militants. right now, the current anti terrorist operation in cas extend is coming to a close. it was said that so within the next several days, probably the c s t o a peacekeeping force is going to be able to return to their respective countries. and it looks like the leaders and attendance and the people it, and the people of the post soviet world don't want to see more international terrorism . and they're all on the same page. shown mutual security and lots said about what's fermenting all this as well. okay, for now and central moscow tunnel co to thanks for that. me. well, a day of mornings being declared across kazakhstan, security forces are tracking down terrorist groups with some fighting set occurring in certain remote locations. the authorities say they've rounded up about

the su he into he rather reached out to moscow through the c s t o. so clearly he sees closer to the ation with russell. so this is kind of a law for china in the chinese pres there's a, we should work together this yes to you and the su to work together. so i don't think you're cut out of this major power. who, by, by putting maxim, you her, theresa there, talk about the fact this was the 1st time that the c s e o, that's the collective security treaty organization that it's been deployed in this fashion. i'm curious to get your point of view about 1st of all, how significant a move that is. but also, i'm curious to get your point of view about what russian president vladimir putin, what his position was, when all the unrest 1st began in kazakhstan, would he have wanted to intervene, or would this intervention have been a reluctant one? well, i think what is different between policymakers and political analysts is that political analysts enjoy a more time and rather lex environment in which we can analyze events, while policymakers said this top leve

when i was asian c s t o to help us down in this very difficult time. now when they do is saying that all she asked you is, you know, punching beyond its weight or they have no right to and that kind of stuff. we want information about it. well, she still has been suggesting corporation to nato since they can, they can do seen c still was found it and they don't just didn't recognize. still, the western edition said that they don't see this as a duty meant organization. they didn't want to talk to c s u, so the west or the class itself to blame for not having the information or the information was available. and these are available. i'll pick your brain a little bit more in the cfo, dmitri, if, if, if i will just in a couple of minutes. but pack none. context on sure, is an 1800 kilometer border with china. is beijing worried about any potential spillover, especially in mission. jung province. oh yes, definitely. i think when the bride broke, our president, teaching thing has already make a very exploit explicit and strong statement affirming what the t

the c s t o peacekeeping mission in catholic stun including and l m i t. c was very important in terms of stabilizing. the situation in our country is undoubtedly had a major moral impact on pushing back the aggression of terrorists. and bandits has been an absolutely extraordinary thought to the year for catholics on a relatively peaceful country, which in a matter of a week went from normal daily life. to absolute, may him a nation wide state of emergency with declared we saw mass wyatt on the streets. we saw government buildings run socks and sets on fire and number of fatalities. we still don't know. it's still being calculated, but it's been reported that over a 1000 protesters have been injured more than $100.00. it being killed while more than a 1000 police officers have been injured, and 16 have been killed. now. all efforts to calm the streets by president psychiatrist fell flat and so he needed to call on the c s t o alliance to help secure vital infrastructure in the country. but when went to class did call on the c s t o a loss to come and help

c. s t o. nations holding an online meeting right now discussing the rest, president putin is to give his address a little bit lighter over broadcast to live later in the program. other also c s t, a peacekeeping station to the city of bike. and oh, which is the location of the cosmo. dr. web russian launch is rockets to the international space station. if i were to say the city has been secured, but the terror threat level has been stepped up for the time being on the should his new didn't of no incidents were registered in bacon or security has been strengthened for the 2nd day. for now, it is enough. our police are fully staffed, they protect not only they, city and our safety, but also the bacon or cost me drone. everything is good, the situation is under control. like all citizens, we waited for the c s t o soldiers to arrive. the troops are at different points in the city now. and about half an hour ago, reinforcements for the police arrived. citizens have waited long for the russian soldiers. they are a symbol of order insecurity. catholic sounds have held its decision to request a
