YEREVAN, AUGUST 22, ARMENPRESS. Armenia condemns the murder of the American journalist James Foley by the Islamic extremists.

“Words fail to express the indignation triggered by the barbaric murder of the American journalist James Foley. We condemn this appalling crime in the strongest manner.

We express our deepest condolences to his relatives and colleagues.

This brutal murder by the extremists shows the ruthless nature of the terrorists and makes the consolidation of efforts of the civilized world and determination in the fight against terror as an imperative,” reports “Armenpress”, citing MFA Spokesperson Tigran Balayan’s comment on the murder of James Foley.

On August 19, Islamic State jihadists released a video in which a militant beheads a man they claim to be American journalist James Foley, who has been missing since he was seized by armed men in Syria in 2012.
