In Moscow Tajikistan Dushanbe hosted a meeting of heads of foreign ministries of the member States of the Organization of collective security Treaty (CSTO). One of the issues that were evaluated by the participants of the negotiations, was countering the threat posed by "Islamic state".

The militants of the terrorist group "Islamic state", which is hosted in a number of States in the Middle East, taking advantage of the political instability in them, threaten not only the security of the nearby countries, but to all States in the region. In this regard, Russia is very interested in building a full-fledged foreign security that is supposed to protect the country and its allies from invading extremists.

The question of counter-terrorists controlled by the "Islamic state" was discussible at the meeting of Ministers of overseas Affairs of member States of the CSTO, Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. More possible dissemination of threat experts see across the border of Afghanistan and Tajikistan, in connection with which the support has to be given, to begin with, specifically in this area.
