The prosecutor-generals of Armenia and Latvia, Agvan Ovsepyan and
Janis Maizitis respectively, signed a memorandum "On legal assistance
and cooperation" in Yerevan today.
Ovsepyan said that the document would allow the law-enforcement
agencies of the two countries to exchange experience and fight crimes
more effectively. He said that practical cooperation between the
Armenian and Latvian prosecutors-generals has not been established
yet, but "the signing of the memorandum acquires significance given
the fact that interstate and economic relations have becoming active".
Maizitis invited his Armenian counterpart to pay a visit to Latvia to
familiarize himself with the activity of the Latvian
Prosecutor-General's Office which is based on the EU norms.
Ovsepyan pointed out the necessity of adopting a new Armenian law "On
prosecutor's office" in line with the European norms which would be
totally different from the current law adopted in 1999.
