/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Till September 11, 2001 terrorism was a purely
abstract problem. Only after the destruction of World Trade Center
twin towers in New York we realized the importance of the fight
against terror," head of NATO's Defense Planning and Operations
Division George Katsirdakis stated to the international conference
titled "Providing Training for Fight against International Terrorism"
currently being held in the Armenian capital. He said, beginning from
2001 a special committee on information and military intelligence
exchange works within NATO.
"However, today terrorists are using democratic freedoms and modern
technologies. It is possible that they can get access to weapons of
mass destruction.
Cyber-terrorism has also appeared. That's why we need to unite in
the fight against this evil, there is no other way here. The answer
of the world community to the terrorism must be frequent and in
all directions.
If terrorists are acting in the whole world, we must do the same,"
the representative of the Alliance underlined.
George Katsirdakis also stressed, according to the Article 5 of the
NATO Regulations on self-defense, "Active endeavor" operations are on
the way. He also reminded operations against "Al-Qaeda" in Afghanistan.
"NATO closely cooperates with international organizations in this
issue, however, I must notice that international terrorism will be
present in our life still for a log time," Katsirdakis said.
