Russia has urged the Global Counterterrorism Forum in New York to prevent Libyan weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists who will bring them home after fighting in warzones.
Speaking at the ministerial summit in New York, President Putin’s anti-terror envoy Alexander Zmeevsky said the meeting focused on “averting the threat that is posed by terrorists coming back from warzones, as well as by the continuing spillover of Libyan weapons that are picked up by terrorist organizations.”

The counter-terror forum adopted a package of important agreements, including an Anakara memorandum against violent extremism and aMadrid memorandum on protecting terror victims.
GCTF anti-terror officials also agreed on some cutting-edge measures that will increase public awareness of extremism.
“These recommendations have been designed to give nations practical assistance and boost their foreign cooperation,” a spokesperson with the Russian foreign ministry said.
