The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has denied reports on the emergence of Armenian military bases on Russian territory as part of an agreement on establishing the Collective Rapid Response Forces.

"We have had no official reports on any Armenian military bases in Dagestan, the Krasnodar region or anywhere else in the territory of Russia," CSTO Press-Secretary, Vitaly Strugavets, told Trend in a telephone conversation from Moscow.
