Место и роль ОДКБ в процессе строительства региональной системы безопасности после распада СССР

Abstract

The Collective Security Treaty was signed in Tash-kent 28 years ago, on May 15, 1992, by parties who were the new sovereign states formed after the col-lapse of the Soviet Union: Russia, Armenia, Kazakh-stan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. A year later, the mentioned Treaty was signed by Belarus, Georgia and Azerbaijan. A decade later, the format of the Treaty was transformed and led to the crea-tion of the Collective Security Treaty Organization – CSTO, the charter of which was signed on October 7, 2002. Nowadays, the CSTO member states are Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, which have distinct features of secu-rity architecture. The role and the place of the CSTO in building a regional security system in the context of a transforming post-Soviet space are impacted by a number of different factors.
