Description
Kyrgyzstan hosts military drills by the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), a Russia-led security bloc, with over 900 units of military equipment present, it claims. CSTO member state Armenia is not present at the drills after Russian peacekeepers failed last year to prevent Azerbaijani forces from recapturing the then-disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, which had been controlled for three decades by Armenian separatists. Armenia has since effectively frozen its participation with the bloc and has hosted joint drills with US forces. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
