1. (C) UN Resident Coordinator Consuelo Vidal told us May 11
that she had complete confidence that UN agencies in Armenia
had no terrorist organizations among their partners. Asked
whether UN agencies in Armenia were vetting existing and
potential partners against the U.S. Treasury Department's
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list (reftel),Vidal
said, "I don't know what steps we are supposed to be taking,
but we would be happy to take those steps." She said most
partners came to the UN agencies from UN lists or Armenian
government entities, thus providing an extra filter against
terrorist organizations.
2. (SBU) Vidal said an Al Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions
Monitoring Team from the UN Secretariat would be in Yerevan
the week of May 15, to work with the MFA to assist the GOAM
in remaining free of entanglements with terrorist
organizations.
