Armenia took a number of positive steps in the fight against
international terrorism, says Country Reports on Terrorism 2010 issued
by U.S. State Department on Thursday.
Among the positive steps the report mentions improvements to its
border security, significant changes to export control laws, and
participation by Armenian experts in internationally sponsored
anti-terrorism training courses.
The report says that Armenia has achieved measured progress in
improving its border security, including installation of radiation
portal alarms at all ports of entry and significant legislative
changes in its export control laws.
"Armenia participated in bilateral and multilateral assistance,
security, and training initiatives targeted at strengthening its
ability to counter terrorism, terrorist financing, and the smuggling
of illicit and hazardous materials.
Armenia continued to make progress in counterterrorism cooperation
with NATO. NATO and Armenia also cooperated on the establishment of a
"situation center" in Yerevan, which assisted in crisis management
and counterterrorism coordination.
In December, the OSCE hosted in Yerevan a national expert workshop on
countering terrorist use of the Internet and comprehensively enhancing
cyber-security," the report reads.
