Russia and the Caspian: The New Middle East. Part VI in a series
The CIS' Collective Security Treaty is getting down to the wire, with a summit scheduled for April 2. Georgia has joined Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in declaring the current treaty unacceptable, and in fact she has joined Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Moldova in forming a new security organization, dubbed GUAM. Georgia herself is still in danger of splintering violently - with serious implications for possible oil and gas pipelines.
