Russian, Armenian special forces conduct anti-terrorist exercise

YEREVAN April 17

The special task forces of the Russian Interior Ministry and the
Armenian police conducted an anti- terrorist training exercise in
Yerevan on Friday, which was aimed at honing their skills of detaining
armed criminals holding hostages.

Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev and Armenian police chief
Alik Sargsyan were present at the training.

Over 300 special task troops and 13 equipment units, including a
military helicopter and an armored police vehicle Tigr, participated
in the training.

"Joint staff training remains a very important aspect of the
construction of a new security architecture," said Nurgaliyev.

Nurgaliyev emphasized that it is not the first joint anti-terrorist
training exercise on CIS territory, adding that such exercises will be
conducted regularly in the future.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
