Moscow, May 3 (Interfax) - The elimination of the world's most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden does not mean victory over al Qaeda, the deputy director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's department for general European affairs, Yury Gorlach, said in Moscow.
"It is necessary to remember all the time that the liquidation of one leader does not mean victory over this entire terrorist network," he said.
The Russian diplomat also advised against slowing down the pace of the counter-terrorism fight.
"There is no time to relax," he said.

A group of Canadian observers will begin a series of inspection flights over Russian territory under the Open Skies Treaty on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"The flights will be along the route coordinated earlier with Russian specialists, who will be on board of the aircraft monitoring implementation of agreements on the use of technical equipment for the observation," the spokesman said.
The C-130 Hercules aircraft being used was earlier approved and certified by international experts and specialists, including from Russia.
The Open Skies Treaty, signed in 1992 at the initiative of U.S. President George H.W. Bush, established a regime of unarmed aerial observation flights over the territories of its 34 member states to promote openness and the transparency of military forces and activities.
The treaty entered into force on January 1, 2002 and its regime covers the national territories (land, islands, and internal and territorial waters) of all the treaty signatory states. It is an important element of the European security structure.

Russia to deliver helicopters to Peru next week
http://www.livinginperu.com/news/14751
Peru's Air Force will receive next week three Russian combat helicopters intended for military operations against drugs trafficking and terrorism, announced Defense Minister Jaime Thorne.
Last July, the Ministry of Defense and Russian state-controlled arms exporter Rosoboronexport signed a contract for the sale of six Mi-171Sh Hip transport and two Mi-35P Hind E attack helicopters. The deal is estimated at $107.9 million.
"Three Russian helicopters will be delivered to Peru on May 9 and 10 and then sent to fight illegal drugs trafficking in the VRAE region (Valley of the Apurimac and Ene River), said Thorne to the press, according to Novosti news agency.
The minister added that Peru "hopes to fulfill the contract with Russia by the end of the year and receive the remaining three helicopters." Last month Russia delivered to Peru two Mi-35P Hind E attack helicopters.
Peru is one of South America's main cocaine producers along with Bolivia and Colombia. The VRAE region was declared a zone of military operations in August 2009 as fighting between the government troops and the Shining Path Maoist terrorist group intensified.
Shining Path is believed to have strong ties with drug traffickers. The group is on the U.S. and EU lists of terrorist organizations.
