    ARMENIA COMBATING TERRORISM

    «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.
