Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) and Armenia's National
Security Service (SNB) on Saturday discussed how to improve bilateral
cooperation in the fight against terrorism and extremism.
"A key topic is how to organise joint struggle against terrorism and
other manifestations of extremism," the head of the Russian delegation
to the talks, Colonel-General Viktor Komogorov told Itar-Tass.
In his words, Russia and Armenia have reached the level of equal
strategic partnership, but existing social and political conditions
in the Caucasus may generate different threats to the security of
both countries.
"This requires the FSB and the SNB to take joint concerted measures
within our jurisdiction," the general said.
He stressed, "We proceed from the need to create a single security
space, as our mutual membership in the Collective Security Treaty
Organisation guides us."
