President Vladimir Putin opened the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in the Moscow Kremlin on Wednesday.
Putin thanked his Kazakh counterpart Nursultan Nazarbayev for his work during Kazakhstan's presidency of the CSTO, which has now been passed over to Kyrgyzstan.
The Russian leader told reporters that the summit will be covering a broad agenda.
The collective security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has begun preparations to conduct peacekeeping operations, said Russian President Vladimir Putin, noting the need to stop interference into internal affairs of sovereign states, since this could lead to very serious consequences.
"If these principles are ignored and some countries attempt to impose their models on others, consequences may be extremely serious, as evidenced by the dramatic events in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Working as equal partners with common responsibility, we managed to make progress in all areas of our work: military cooperation, fighting international crime, especially drug trafficking, and crisis management."

3. Vladimir Putin, Russian President (speaking Russian):
"The CSTO demonstrates a truly collective approach in addressing modern challenges and threats. It considers that the processes taking place in the world today are closely interrelated. It also maintains that international law must be upheld and that it is unacceptable to meddle into domestic affairs of sovereign states. If these principles are ignored and some countries attempt to impose their models on others, consequences may be extremely serious, as evidenced by the dramatic events in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Working as equal partners with common responsibility, we managed to make progress in all areas of our work: military cooperation, fighting international crime, especially drug trafficking, and crisis management. We are preparing for peacekeeping missions and strengthening our military potential, including the Collective Rapid Response Force.
"The situation in Afghanistan requires our special attention. It is extremely important that we use this document as a starting point and produce an effective action plan to minimize risks for our countries." 03:56-04:39
