Armenian president calls for coordinated security policy of CIS states
YEREVAN October 14
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan has called on the country of
the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to stick to a coordinated
policy to repel the present-day threats and challenges in the area of
security.
"It is necessary to create conditions for the elaboration of a
coordinated policy of the CIS states in the interests of counteracting
modern-day threats and challenges," he said on Friday addressing a
meeting of the CIS Council of Interior Ministers.
"The beginning of the 21st century has brought about new threats and
challenges to security, and efforts to counteract these threats and
challenges are coming to the fore in world politics, for the entire
civilized world," he stressed.
"It is obvious that efforts of a single state are not enough to fight
these crimes," he noted. "That is why we are now faced with a
strategic task to create a coordinated system and mechanisms that
would help exposed and eliminate big criminal groups."
"We are committed to it not merely because of the historically
friendly relations between our states, but also because of the
tendencies of growing and expanding crime," he said.
The current meeting of the CIS Council of Interior Ministers "is being
held in conditions when the CIS countries are undergoing the process
of the formation of new public, political, social and economic
relations, when a new legislative environment is being formed," he
noted. "It puts more comprehensive tasks to law enforcement bodies of
the CIS countries in repelling new threats and challenges of the
modern time."
"The swift and sometimes unpredictable nature of the current political
processes, economic and financial shocks in a number of the countries
of the Commonwealth, and their aftermaths are urging for a coordinated
strategy and closer cooperation," he emphasized.
"It has long become a tradition that the CIS Council of Interior
Ministers discusses anti-crime efforts and the results we have
achieved in this sphere are worth to be highly appraised," he said.
"Terrorism and organized crime, illegal drug and weapons trafficking,
illegal migration and trade in humans, as extraterritorial phenomena
that have nor state or political borders, are now a big problem for
state institutions threatening national security of states," he said.
"In conditions of growing internationalisation of crime it is vital to
pool efforts of all states to offer an efficient rebuff to the most
dangerous manifestations of crime," he concluded.
