Major stir over U.S. bugging claims forced, expert says

PanARMENIAN.Net - A political analyst believes recent major stir over claims that U.S. bugged a number of European offices to be somewhat forced.

As Andrey Areshev told PanARMENIAN.Net the information above was widely known even before Edward Snowden's leaks.

"It's no secret that even the closest allies have always been spying on each other. The stir will eventually die down. None of the European countries is questioning the U.S. role in the Western alliance, nor are they prepared to leave NATO. And to countries having no military or political ties with the U.S. it’s a warning to boost their information security,” Areshev said.
