The rumors on terrorist threat and appearance of Taliban
representatives in Armenia excited everyone. Everyone remembered that
after the assassination of the U.S. ambassador in Benghazi Armenia was
listed among the countries where the U.S. diplomats were warned about
possible terrorist attacks. Then, there were assumptions that the U.S.
has some information on possible terrorist attacks.
The information that the Armenian nuclear plant stops until December
caused even more concerns. And though they stated that the stoppage is
for annual maintenance, evidently the NPP is one of the most
vulnerable facilities of Armenia. Experts even argue that the NPP is a
peculiar aegis for Armenia against foreign aggression. Neighboring
countries, Turkey and Azerbaijan, will think 100 times before
attacking a nuclear state.
Today, the French Le Monde published an article that Armenians, like
the Christians of the Middle East, are facing threat of death.
Although Armenia has friendly relations with Shiites of Iran and
Sunnis of Arab and Middle East states, it remains a Christian country
which has hostile relations with its Muslim neighbors Turkey and
Azerbaijan.
Is the information about Taliban members in Armenia true? The National
Security Service must tell the society about possible danger. Even if
it causes a panic, it is better than to put people to sleep and be
unable to prevent a catastrophe.
It would be even better if the Armenian border guards ensure the
defense of the national borders of Armenia instead of foreign guards.
No matter how friendly Armenia and Russia are, it is evident that
Armenia is not provided with full information about developments at
the border and does not control the situation.
The question of who and how entered Armenia is not just an internal
question but a subject of `international negotiations'. The Russian
border guards should provide full information to their Armenian
colleagues.
Besides, it is also necessary to find out where the information
leakage happened. Perhaps, someone misinformed people on purpose or
someone needs to test the efficiency of the anti-terroristic forces.
Moreover, the CSTO CRRF exercise is underway in Armenia. So, it is not
ruled out that there is an `imaginary enemy'.
