Russia`s Aeroflot may be privatised after 2013 - minister.
KIEV, October 28 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia's airline Aeroflot may be
privatised after 2013, Transport Minister Igor Levitin said.
"The Transport Ministry believes that Aeroflot will not be privatised
in 2011 or 2012. The selling mechanism is well known, but it has not been
decided yet how big the package [of shares] will be and when it will be
sold," Levitin said.
He noted that it would be impossible to determine Aeroflot's value
until the end of its consolidation with six airlines that used to be
controlled by Russian Technologies (Rostekhnologii).

the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly will be held in St. Petersburg on
Thursday, October 28.

For the first time in the history of organisation, a Central Asian and
post-Soviet state has become an OSCE chairman.

"objective recognition and a high assessment of our people's successes
over the short period of independence," he said.

organisation.
ST. PETERSBURG, October 28 (Itar-Tass) -- The Parliamentary Assembly

Gryzlov retained the post of CSTO Parliamentary Assembly chairman for
one more year after Wednesday's meeting of its Council in order to
finalise the organisation's status.
The Council members discussed "the results of the informal summit of
the OSCE member states held in Yerevan in August and the implementation of
the decisions adopted by the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly in July of this
year," he said.
Another issue in the agenda was the military-political situation in
the Central Asian collective security region of the CSTO.
"We also reviewed the programme of legal support to the creation and
development of the collective security system within the CSTO, which will
expire in 2010 but will be continued," Gryzlov said.
