    THE LIMITED DEFINITION OF TERRORISM UNDER TURKISH LAW AN IMPEDIMENT TO EFFECTIVE ACTION AGAINST GLOBAL TERRORIST NETWORKS

    12:12, 31 May, 2013

    YEREVAN, MAY 31, ARMENPRESS: The State Department's annual terrorism
    report, released yesterday, takes on Turkey, citing a Turkish law
    that it describes as an "impediment" to effective action against
    global terrorist networks, reports Armenpress referring to Armenian
    National Committee.

    "The limited definition of terrorism under Turkish law, restricted to
    activities targeting the Turkish state and its citizens, represented
    an impediment to effective action by Turkey against global terrorist
    networks. For example, although Turkish police temporarily detained
    several alQa'ida (AQ)-affiliated operatives attempting to transit
    through Turkey illegally in 2012, Turkish authorities chose to deport
    these individuals to their countries of origin quickly rather than
    pursue domestic legal action against them, at least in part because
    of the lack of appropriate legal tools," reads the "Country reports
    on Terrorism 2012".

    In part of Armenia, it says: "The United States, Georgia, and Armenia
    participated in cross-border exercises that successfully demonstrated
    the Governments of Georgia and Armenia's internal, bilateral, and
    international notification and response procedures in the detection
    and interdiction of illicit trans-border movements of weapons of mass
    destruction materials"
