YEREVAN, October 1 (Itar-Tass) – Border control imposed on the Russian border in the North Caucasus is not aimed against transit of cargoes to and out of Armenia, Chairman of the Federation Council Sergei Mironov declared on Friday.
Mironov arrived in Yerevan on an official visit as the head of a delegation of the upper chamber of the Russian parliament.
Mironov expressed the hope that the Armenian leadership and the people will express understanding of the causes that forced Russia to terminate transit of cargoes across Russia’s state border in the North Caucasus. Many terrorists who feel at ease in Georgia go straight to our territory, Mironov said. After the tragedy in Beslan we had to take definite measures, he added.
Russia and Armenia are among the countries, which occupy top positions in the struggle against terrorism, Mironov said. The coming discussion with the Armenian leadership will be another contribution to the common wall that should rebuff terrorism all over the world, Mironov stressed.
