    Tajikistan, Armenia owe Russia millions for border protection, say auditors

    ITAR-TASS news agency
    9 Nov 04

    Moscow, 9 November: A meeting of the board of the Audit Chamber
    of the Russian Federation has examined the results of a check into
    the use of federal assets and funds allocated to the Russian FSB's
    [Federal Security Service] Border Service for its directorates in
    Tajikistan and Armenia.

    The Audit Chamber's information department told an ITAR-TASS
    correspondent today that, according to the findings, there are still
    "questions connected with the co-financing of the border directorates
    by the host countries".

    "During the first half-year the shortfall in Tajikistan's financing
    of Russian border guards was over R263m, and almost R3.2m in the case
    of Armenia," the information department noted.

    During the discussions at the board meeting it was also noted that,
    because the border directorates are not registered as corporate
    bodies in the Russian Federation [RF], Tajikistan or Armenia, there
    are social problems and property issues connected, for example, with
    the pensionable service of civilian personnel with RF citizenship
    who have moved to take up permanent residence in Russia.

    The board of the Audit Chamber decided to send representations
    over these questions to the Finance Ministry and the FSB's Border
    Service. It will also write a letter to the government to inform it
    of the situation and send reports on the findings of the check to
    the chambers of the Federal Assembly, the Audit Chamber's information
    department said.
