Imangali Tasmagambetov, Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) warned that the risk of "terrorists" infiltrating from Afghanistan to Central Asia has increased. Tasmagambetov added that drug trafficking from Afghanistan too has been on the rise.
The Secretary General of CSTO discussed the threats from Afghanistan at the meeting of leaders of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation in Moscow on Friday.
According to Tasmagambetov, terrorist groups infiltrate from Afghanistan into the territories of CSTO member states.
Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan are members of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
Tasmagambatov urged the members of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation to seriously consider the threats originating from Afghanistan.
The Collective Security Treaty Organisation had previously said that 4,000 ISIS fighters were stationed on the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border.
