MOSCOW,
April 12. /TASS/. President Vladimir Putin has promised to prevent color
revolutions in Russia, also stressing that Moscow will do its utmost for that
and support its partners in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
"We
know different theories that are implemented in various regions of the world
and lead to serious destabilization in these regions. Certainly, we must not
allow this and will make every effort to behave in a proper way in Russia and
provide all support to our partners in the CSTO," Putin said in an interview
with Mir 24 TV channel.
The term "color revolutions" is used to describe various movements developed in the former Soviet countries, namely Ukraine and Georgia, and the Balkan states during the early 2000s. The term is also applied to a number of revolutions in other regions, including in the Middle East.
Earlier,
Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev also spoke about the threats of
color revolutions on the territory of the CSTO states. In an interview with the
Mir 24 TV channel, Nazarbayev noted that color revolutions are the outside
meddling in domestic affairs of other countries. The CSTO member-states discuss
efforts to counteract such threats, he said.
Headquartered
in Moscow, the CSTO, formed in 2002, is a regional security group comprising
six post-Soviet countries - Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan
and Armenia.
