MINSK, 13 December (BelTA) - Terrorism is a problem of the 21st century which must be tackled together, Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin told the media in Minsk on 13 December, BelTA has learned.
The seventh joint session of the boards of Belarusian Investigative Committee and Russian Investigative Committee was held in Minsk on 13 December to discuss topical issues of terrorist crimes and extremist crimes in addition to other matters of improving the efficiency of preliminary investigation agencies. Participating in the session are Chairman of Belarusian Investigative Committee Dmitry Gora, Chairman of Russian Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, and State Secretary of the Union State of Belarus and Russia Dmitry Mezentsev.
Before the session, Alexander Bastrykin told journalists that the threat of terrorism has increased manifold. "Terrorism is a problem of the 21st century which we must tackle together," he said.
The Russian Investigative Committee established an information center to respond to extremism and terrorism. "It helps us to respond very quickly to the signals that come from people. We have multi-channel phone systems. We also monitor social networks. With the help of these resources, I stay informed on what is happening in the country. We try to respond properly to these signals by investigating, launching criminal cases, conducting procedural checks," Alexander Bastrykin noted.
He also mentioned the problem of Russia's interaction with Interpol. "Before the launch of the special military operation, there were no problems in interaction with Interpol. Nowadays, we have practically lost these ties. That is, the international criminal police organization does not want to cooperate with us for political reasons. We cannot describe it as sanctions against Russia. These are sanctions against the whole world, because Interpol is engaged in fighting international crime," Alexander Bastrykin emphasized.
