RBC reports that the prosecutors general of these CIS countries signed a cooperation agreement on combating terrorism and extremism.

The document was signed by Russian Prosecutor General Alexander Gutsan, Belarusian Prosecutor General Dmitry Gora, Kazakh Prosecutor General Berik Asylov, Kyrgyz Prosecutor General Malik Bekturganov, Tajik Prosecutor General Habibullo Saydullo Vohidzoda, and Uzbek Prosecutor General Nigmatilla Yuldashev.

The document notes the “concern of the parties” over the spread of cases of terrorism and extremism, including those related to the rehabilitation of Nazism, as well as those “posing a serious threat to the security of states” and their “political, economic, and social stability.”

The document provides for the rapid exchange of information about terrorist and extremist organizations, groups, and individuals, as well as about the establishment of international contacts between terrorist and extremist groups. In addition, the countries intend to exchange data about attempts to violate states’ sovereignty or about possible terrorist attacks.

Information about illegal armed formations using terrorist, sabotage, and extremist methods should also serve as grounds for sharing information between the parties. In addition, the parties undertake to inform one another about traffickers in people, weapons, and drugs, as well as organizers of illegal migration.
