  1. “Foreign terrorist fighters returning from conflict zones in the Middle East import their violent practices and disseminate virulent extremist ideas, thereby contributing to the radicalization of societies. Da'esh-style executions and other atrocities are already not limited just to the Middle East. Unfortunately, the events of April 2016 in our region proved the validity of our concerns. Armenia reiterates its full commitment to working with the relevant United Nations bodies and Member States to redouble collective efforts to fight international terrorism and its links with organized crime, in whichever form it takes and wherever it happens.”

  2. “We pursue also cooperation with Anti-Terrorism Center of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), relevant structural units of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Council of Europe, and advance collaboration in the bilateral format. We actively participate in the regularly conducted joint operations of CSTO member States to counter drugs and arms smuggling and information and communications technology-related threats and to combat threats arising from foreign terrorist fighters, which are closely interlinked with terrorist and organized criminal groups. The relocation of foreign terrorist fighters from the Middle East, particularly to the conflict areas in the OSCE and CIS regions, poses a serious threat to regional security.”

  3. “Armenia has made considerable efforts to strengthen its anti-money-laundering/counter-financing of terrorism regime, having conducted a thorough national risk assessment and introduced its national strategy for combating money-laundering and terrorism financing. We have significantly improved our legal framework on terrorism financing and the freezing of terrorist assets. Armenia has strengthened operational access to the relevant tools and databases of INTERPOL and cooperates in counter-terrorism matters with the relevant regional and international organizations.”

  4. “We are glad to note the enhanced cooperation with the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED). CTED conducted its follow- up visit to the Republic of Armenia in 2018 to assess the implementation of resolution 1373 (2001) and subsequent counter-terrorism resolutions. Armenia's relevant national security and law enforcement authorities reaffirmed their unequivocal commitment to contributing to fighting terrorism and its financing in all its forms and manifestations so as to ensure further compliance with the counter-terrorism resolutions of the Security Council and in line with CTED recommendations.”

  5. “The Security Council has recognized and expressed concern over the connection between transnational organized crime and terrorism in several of its resolutions, most recently in resolution 2462 (2019), which Armenia co-sponsored. The nature and scope of the linkages between terrorism and transnational organized crime vary by context. The sustained and comprehensive engagement of all States and international, regional and subregional organizations is as critical as ever if we are to better understand the links that exist between terrorists and transnational organized crime. We express our support to the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism in its activity aimed at improving visibility, advocacy and resource mobilization for United Nations counter-terrorism efforts.”

  6. “At the outset, we would like to congratulate Peru on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July, and to thank it for its choice ofthe theme oftoday's open debate. We thank the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Executive Director of the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and the invited international consultant for their briefings. Terrorism continues to pose significant threat to international peace and stability. Horrific terrorist acts have been perpetrated in many parts of the world in recent years. Undoubtedly, enhanced cooperation at both the regional and the international levels is crucial to countering and addressing the multifaceted threats posed by terrorism and transnational organized crime, which quite often appear to be closely interlinked.”
