There are no Taliban militants in Armenia - special service

YEREVAN. Sept 19 (Interfax) - Information about Taliban militants infiltrating Armenia are not true, press secretary of the Armenian National Security Service Artsvik Bagramian told Interfax on Wednesday.

Earlier the local newspaper Aikakan Zhamanak reported that Taliban members had entered Azerbaijan.

"The stability of the republic is the greatest value, and it is very lamentable that the newspaper reported such absurd information," Bagramian said.

In his opinion, with the report the publication tried to increase its circulation.
