THREE RESIDENTS OF SHIRAK WARDED FOR HELPING TO DETAIN BORDER TRESSPASSER
GYUMRI, MAY 26, ARMENPRESS: Three residents of a village in the
north-western province of Shirak were rewarded by the command of the Russian
border guards who patrol Armenian border with Turkey for tracking down and
helping border guards to detain a man who crossed the border from Turkey on
May 2.
The residents of Meghrashen village will be also awarded medals at a
ceremony later this year marking the day of border guards. The command of
the Russian unit has pledged tangible rewards for local residents for their
tips and information about past and planned border crossing violations. The
decision was prompted by frequent cases of cattle stealing in Armenia and
their sale across the border.
