The post-Soviet Collective Security Treaty Organization will offer emergency assistance to law-enforcement agencies in Kyrgyzstan, where more than 100 people have died in four days of ethnic clashes.
"They have enough strength for today, but do not have enough equipment, helicopters, ground transportation, logistics and even gasoline, oil and lubricants," said Nikolai Bordyuzha, the group's secretary general.
Bordyuzha told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that if approved "as the top-priority measure to restore order, this plan will work."
"But we offer a range of measures - right up to assisting in joint activities to identify the organizers of the riots and bring them to justice," he added.
The proposals adopted at the meeting on Monday of secretaries of the security councils of the CSTO members will be passed on to the heads of states for approval.
Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said the Kyrgyz representative thoroughly briefed the participants on the situation in the country.
"There was an active exchange of views, it was an analysis of the situation in the country," Patrushev told Medvedev.
The government in Kyrgyzstan said on Monday that 124 people had died in ethnic clashes that began in the southern city of Osh on Thursday and have spread to the wider region. Tens of thousands of ethnic Uzbeks have fled to neighboring Uzbekistan.
After the security chiefs meeting, the CSTO said Kyrgyzstan's current steps were insufficient to deal with the ethnic violence and urged the interim government to take all necessary additional steps to quickly restore order in the country.
"The efforts by the provisional government of Kyrgyzstan to stabilize the situation in the country are still insufficient," the CSTO said in a statement.
The Russia-dominated security grouping also includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
