	DUSHANBE HOSTS CIS INTERIOR MINISTERS' MEETING - Eurasia Daily Monitor
		In his meeting with Tajikistan's President Imomali Rahmonov, the Russian minister stressed the utility of such joint operations and their potential dividends in combating terrorism and transnational organized crime, clearly canvassing for Dushanbe's future support for involvement in such operations.
		Colonel-General Khumdin Sharipov, Tajikistan's interior minister, endeavored to distance the Council of Ministers from its past preoccupation with conceptual and general discussions on confronting the security issues facing the law-enforcement agencies in the former Soviet Union.
		Russian security officials evidently have a wider agenda in view, partly reflected in Putin's message, and this is hardly surprising given Moscow's geopolitical interests in Tajikistan.
