by Vladimir Zainetdinov, Tigran Liloyan
Armenia’s President Robert Kocharayan has called on the participants
in the international anti-terrorist exercises, currently taking place
in Armenia, to fight against the root causes that breed terrorism.
“Terrorists cannot be stopped only with the use of arms and force.
Effective preventive political, diplomatic, financial and economic
measures are needed to eliminate the causes producing terrorism, and
to create insurmountable obstacles to terrorist actions,” the
president said. “The international community currently undertakes
active and systematic efforts to form a coordinated system of
antiterrorist security.”
“This is confirmed by the participation of security agencies of the
CIS and G-8 countries and influential international organsations in
the exercise,” Kocharyan said.
He also expressed his confidence that the exercises would become
“one more step towards strengthening international antiterrorist
cooperation.”
