    RF, ARMENIA COMMANDOES, POLICE HOLD JOINT EXERCISE

    ITAR-TASS News Agency, Russia
    June 29 2006

    TSAKHKADZOR (Armenia), June 29 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian Interior Minister
    Rashid Nurgaliyev is satisfied with the results of the anti-terrorist
    exercises of commandoes of the Russian Interior Ministry and Armenian
    crack policemen that were held at the highland Armenian resort of
    Tsakhkadzor. During the war games that had four stages, Russian
    commandoes from the unit Rus and their Armenian colleagues practiced
    joint actions rebuffing an armed attack on the guarded motorcade,
    a release operation of hostages and a detention operation of armed
    bandits.

    "These exercises are primarily aimed against international terrorism,
    extremist groups," said the Russian interior minister who arrived in
    Armenia to take part in a meeting of the joint board of the Russian
    Interior Ministry and Armenian police. The exercises "showed how
    the special forces of our countries need coordinated actions during
    special operations," Nurgaliyev said watching the war games.

    Russian and Armenian commandoes practiced new methods of special
    operations for the first time, he pointed out. According to him,
    the commandoes of the countries used these methods in a release
    operation of hostages captured by terrorists in the building, during
    the seizure of armed criminals and a release operation of hostages kept
    in the car. "Fast and coordinated actions are practiced during such
    exercises. Each of four operations was carried out for 5-7 seconds,"
    the Russian interior minister said.

    Chief of Armenian police Col-Gen. Aik Arutyunian praised highly the
    exercises. "The exercises were fair and well coordinated," he remarked.

    Nurgaliyev and Arutyunian presented awards and personal arms to
    the commandoes.

    The next exercises between the commandoes of Armenia and Russia will
    be held in Russia. "The next exercises may be held in Rostov-on-Don,
    where we will also practice joint actions," Nurgaliyev indicated.
