    U.S. Government Donates $2.4 Million in Assistance to Law Enforcement in Armenia

    On July 13, 2005 U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Evans and Armenian
    Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan will sign the Protocol on
    Amendment to the Letter of Agreement on Narcotics Control and Law
    Enforcement between the Government of the United States of America
    and the Government of Armenia.

    Under this amendment, the U.S. Government will provide $2,411,000.00 to
    the Government of Armenia for six projects. These projects will include
    regional law enforcement computer network development, law enforcement
    academy development, counter-trafficking in persons assistance,
    Border Guard and Customs regional training facilities development,
    criminal law reform program, and legal socialization program.

    Since the signing of the original Letter of Agreement on June 11, 2001,
    the Government of the United States has provided over $5 million for
    law enforcement assistance in Armenia. Some of the projects completed
    or nearing completion include installing computer classrooms and other
    classroom equipment in the Police Academy, Police Training Center
    and the Procuracy Training Center; providing computer equipment to
    the Anti-Trafficking offices at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the
    Procuracy, and the Forensic Lab; and providing evidence collection
    equipment to the police, the Police Academy and the Forensic Lab. The
    U.S. Embassy remains committed to working with the Government of
    Armenia to help modernize the criminal justice system in Armenia.
