    RF, ARMENIA AGREE TO STEP UP EXCHANGE OF OPERATIONAL INFO

    ITAR-TASS News Agency, Russia
    June 28, 2006 Wednesday

    Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said Russia and Armenia
    had agreed to step up the exchange of operational information.

    "At the joint collegium Russia's Interior Ministry and Armenia's
    police decided to step up the exchange of operational, criminalistic
    and other information," Nurgaliyev said on Wednesday.

    In his speech the Russian minister pointed to a high level of
    cooperation with Armenia's police. "Russian-Armenian cooperation in
    the sphere of crime control is developing effectively," he said.

    The Russian Interior Ministry and the Armenian police regularly rivet
    their attention crime control. The strengthening of cooperation in
    curbing illegal migration is one of the most topical problems, the
    minister stressed.

    Nurgaliyev deems it necessary to promote cooperation between Russia
    and Armenia to combat economic crimes. "Economic relations between
    our two countries are subject to the influence and close attention
    of criminal circles," the minister said. "The Collegium's duty is to
    objectively review the situation in this domain."

    Nurgaliyev noted that trade turnover between Russia and Armenia was
    annually increasing. "It grew by forty per cent in 2005 as compared
    to the 2004 figure. Russian capital accounts for a quarter of the
    total authorised capital of the banks registered in Armenia. Several
    joint large-scale projects are being implemented in the field
    of telecommunications and energy," the minister stated. More than
    seventy Russian regions have economic contacts with Armenia. Moscow,
    St. Petersburg, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod and Sverdlovsk Regions have
    the biggest trade turnovers with Armenia, he added.

    The law enforcement agencies of the two countries are constantly
    exchanging information on the organisations engaged in economic
    transactions between Russia and Armenia. For instance, the inter-state
    databank on crimes linked with money forging and marketing of
    counterfeit money is being constantly replenished, Nurgaliyev noted.

    Many economic crimes, such as smuggling, fraud, and illegal
    entrepreneurship were disclosed thanks to the improved exchange of
    information between the law enforcement structures of Russia and
    Armenia, he stressed.
