«Libya and Sudan took significant steps to cooperate in the battle against
terrorism in 2004. Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, however, continued to
maintain their ties to terrorism», says the US Department of State annual
report om terrorism. It is written about Armenia:
In 2004, Armenia continues to be a full and active participant in the global
war against terrorism. A new Armenian sriminal law more clearly defining
terrorist acts replaced Soviet-era legislation in 2003. Thr National
Assembly passed legislation outlawing money laundering and financing of
terrorism in Dewcember 2004, bringingg Armenian legislation in line with its
int ernational obligations to combat terrorism finance, and strengthening
the ability of the Government to prosecute terrorist-related offenses.
Border Guards seized 42 grams of non-weapon-grade radioactive material in
2004. While none of the material was likely destined for terrorist
organizations, the Border Guards have shown that they are capable of
detecting and interdicting nuclear material. The Armenian Central Bank fully
cooperated with efforts to freeze terrorist assets but reported finding none
in 2004.
