S. Grigoryan noted that the Islamic extremist forces are active in our region now and the “Al Qaida” which made the terroristic action on September 11, 2001, is under the USA’s pressure now.

According to the speaker a new generation has appeared among the “Al Qaida” which now has new points of view on making terrorism. According to them now such actions must not be held as because of the terrorism the Islamists lost Afghanistan where the USA entered now.

“Islamists are now very active and try to have deep roots in those countries where the changes take place”, S. Grigoryan said.
