Editor’s Comment: The above English language Press Release, which is otherwise printed verbatim, has been edited to remove erroneous references to the OSCE. Although Russia and Belarus, along with Kazakhstan, are members of the OSCE the CPF (Коллективных миротворческих сил or КМС) is a Russian-led CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) mission, not an OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) mission. As we do not have a contact telephone number for the CSTO to query the release, we sought clarification direct from the OSCE who stated to that the use of the abbreviation may be a translation typo by the originator as the Russian language version of the release states CSTO.
