assignments from Georgia concerning carrying out investigation in the
territory of Armenia and 7 such assignments were sent to Georgian
colleagues from Armenia. This was mentioned at the May 17 joint
press conference of Zurab Adeishvili, Georgian Prosecutor General,
and Aghvan Hovsepian, RA Prosecutor General. According to A.Hovsepian,
Armenian investigators paid working visits to Georgia on the occasion
on different criminal cases, especially lately, on cases of false
excise stamps, and always met manifestation of good will by Georgian
law-enforcement bodies in the process of investigation and disclosure
of these crimes. During 5 months the Armenian party got 2 criminal
cases for investigation in Armenia and one case was sent to Georgia:
all of the 3 cases concerned cattle theft. The law-enforcement bodies
of both countries have serious difficulties in investigation of

resale of stolen cars. Answering the question of one of journalists,
Zurab Adeishvili said that after the "rose revolution" struggle
against corruption became active in Georgia, 15 of former Ministers,
12 judges, 11 prosecutors were arrested on criminal cases instituted
against them and 90 mln drams was returned to the state Treasury. What
measures does Georgian Prosecutor's Office undertake for calling to
account persons guilty of vandalism to Armenian monuments? Answering
this question, Z.Adeishvili said: "We will respond to such facts if
there are such. One criminal case was instituted earlier and we will
be consistent in this issue."
