Dedication of the National Bureau of Expertises
On June 1, 2006, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia and the Government of the
Republic of Armenia will dedicate the first building of the National Bureau
of Expertises, a State Non-Commercial Organization which was renovated with
U.S. Government assistance. U.S. Ambassador John M. Evans will officially
transfer the facility to the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Armenia
Aghvan Hovsepyan.
The U.S. Government invested over $345,000 to complete renovations of the
facility through the U.S. Embassy´s International Narcotics and Law
Enforcement Affairs Office. The first phase of the renovations began in
March 2005 and was funded by the Armenian Government.
The National Bureau of Expertises is a forensic laboratory intended for the
use of all law enforcement entities of the Republic of Armenia. It operates
under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia.
The lab sections that will occupy the newly renovated building include
Questioned Documents, Firearms and Toolmarks, Fingerprints, Arson and
Explosives, Drug Analysis, Trace Analysis, and Toxicology Units. The U.S.
Government will provide training and equipment in all of these areas of
forensic analysis. The building is equipped with an elaborate security
system, which will ensure controlled access to the laboratories and the
security of the evidence. This laboratory will facilitate the criminal
investigative process.
A project to renovate the adjacent building for the lab is in the planning
stages. Among other units to be housed in the second building will be a DNA
Analysis Section.
