If we consider the distance traveled as a 25-year period, we will have to admit that although the first ten years laid the conceptual basis for further development, they did not give significant practical results, which led to the withdrawal of the Treaty of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Uzbekistan in 1999 ( The board is drunk and ginger) At the same time, it can be said that the expectations of these countries were somewhat overstated, and the Collective Security Treaty, aimed at responding to external aggression, could not provide a solution to intra-regional conflicts.
