Indo-Pak situation is truly frightening: Armitage
(Updated at 1450 PST)
WASHINGTON: Stating that the Indo-Pak situation is "truly frightening", US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has said the need of the hour is to stop the weakening of international security architecture and put an end to the spread of nuclear weapons, a foreign news agency reported on Thursday.

You will see India and Pakistan with a thousand-mile shared border and a 50-year history of enmity and war - a situation that is truly frightening when you add into the mix nuclear weapons outside the system of international restraints, Armitage said in an address to the National Defence University.

On North Korea, he said it is blighted nation led by a dictator who defies his international commitments and fiddles with nuclear threats, he said.

And you will see Iran where an entire generation is ready to change, while elements of a violent and backward past look to buy and to build weapons of mass destruction despite their solemn obligationsto the contrary, he further said.
