Yerevan, 4 April: Armenian borderguards have detained more than 50
border violators over the past three months of 2005, the commander
of the border troops of the Armenian National Security Service,
Col Vyacheslav Voskanyan, told reporters today.
The border violators had been detained at an Armenian-Georgian border
checkpoint, Yerevan's Erebuni airport, the Gumri airport and also
at the Ayrum railway station, Voskanyan told Arminfo. Most of the
detainees attempted to cross the border with fake documents, he said.
Twice as many border violators were detained in 2005 compared to the
same period of 2004, Voskanyan said. He said that this is because
Armenian border guards have become more professional and ID checks
have been stepped up.
