Russia's Draft of the European Security Treaty STRATFOR is not responsible for the content of other Web sites. Russian President Dmitri Medvedev said Oct. 7 that the current European security architecture — including NATO, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) — is unable to resolve the continent's many intractable conflicts and that a new European security framework is needed. Medvedev was speaking at a joint press conference with Greek Cypriot President Demetris Christofias while on a state visit to Cyprus. Medvedev's choice of venue for revisiting Moscow's proposed European Security Treaty was meant to be instructive, as Cyprus has been divided between the Greek south, which is now part of the European Union, and the de facto independent Turkish north since 1974 with no solution in sight.
