ASHGABAT (Sputnik) — Russia calls for the creation of an international tribunal for the terrorists, as well as the elaboration of measures to prevent terrorist organizations’ funding, Russian upper house speaker Valentina Matvienko said Saturday.
"We call for measures to prevent the financing, arms supply of misanthropic activities and in the long term to agree on international legal proceedings against the terrorists and their accomplices, similar to Nuremberg [Tribunal], so that this never happens again," Matvienko stated, speaking at the international conference ‘Neutrality policy: international cooperation for peace, security and development’ held in Turkmenistan.
International terrorism jeopardizes the future of the entire civilization, Matvienko warned, adding that the recent tragic events have convincingly demonstrated nobody can feel safe.
"They [extremists and terrorists] have in their plans to promote their expansion into new regions. After the Middle East, the Central Asia falls into the sight of the terrorist organizations, strengthening their positions in Afghanistan," the Federation Council speaker stressed.
The imminent threat posed by the returning home Central Asian IS extremists having undergone training and combat in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan was emphasized by Kyrgyz Prosecutor General Indira Joldubayeva on November 11.
