The secretary of the security council under the Armenian president and
defence minister, Serzh Sarkisyan, today expressed his doubts that the
republic may become a target for international terrorists.
Commenting today on the statement by the Organization of Al-Qa'idah
Jihad in Europe, which claimed responsibility for yesterday's
terrorist acts in London, consisting threats to "all governments of
the Crusades" and demanding to withdraw troops from Iraq, Sarkisyan
said that "Armenia has never considered itself the country of the
Crusades".
He pointed out that the law-enforcement agencies of Armenia
nevertheless were in control of the situation.
Sarkisyan also said that he regarded as important Armenia's
involvement in the anti-terrorist coalition.
