Russian RIA Novosti News Agency reports that the opportunity of Uzbekistan to return to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) depends on the future policy of the organization.
As reported, Russian Foreign Ministry hopes that Uzbekistan will become a full member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) again.
Uzbekistan suspended its participation in the organization in June 2012.
Uzbekistan has left the Collective Security Treaty Organization once in 1999, when the country did not prolong the contract with the organization. In 2006, Tashkent has restored membership.
After the withdrawal of Uzbekistan, six member states remained in the CSTO: Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
