    RA GENERAL PROSECUTOR AND U.S. FBI ATTACHE DISCUSS ISSUES OF
    COOPERATION BETWEEN LAWFUL BODIES OF ARMENIA AND USA

    YEREVAN, October 26. /ARKA/. General Prosecutor of Armenia Aghvan
    Hovsepyan and the U.S. FBI Attache Mark Kirby discussed issues of
    cooperation between the lawful bodies of Armenia and the USA.
    On Thursday Press-Secretary of the RA General Prosecutor's Office
    Sona Truzyan informed ARKA News Agency that during the meeting Kirby
    had expressed gratitude to Hovsepyan for the rendered assistance in
    disclosing crimes.
    Kirby handed in to Hovsepyan an official letter of the FBI Director
    Robert Muller, in which FBI expresses gratefulness to the RA General
    Prosecutor's Office for its special assistance to the U.S. Embassy in
    Armenia and FBI Legal Affairs Office.
    The letter says that we have to follow the spirit of cooperation,
    demonstrated in the course of the preliminary investigation of the
    criminal case of Arthur Khanzadyan. It also says that the fact that
    the national security service revealed the place where Khanzadyan
    hided and arrested himà, as well as the investigation pursued by the
    Armenian collaborators in a short period of time, shows that
    criminals can evade the justice neither in USA nor in Armenia.
    In that connection Kirby read gratifying diplomas of Muller for the
    effective support rendered by the Armenian officers in investigation
    of the criminal case of Arthur Khanzadyan. The diplomas are addressed
    to the Heads of the International Legal Affairs Department of the RA
    State General Prosecutor's Office Nelli Harutyunyan, as well as to
    other two representatives of the Office Bagrat Petrosyan and Gevorg
    Yeremyan.
    On August 25, 2006, a citizen of Armenia Arthur Khanzadyan was
    sentenced by an Armenian court to 10-year imprisonment for murdering
    his girlfriend - citizen of USA of Armenian origin, in USA in
    September 2005.
    In 2006, he was found in Armenia and arrested by officers of the
    National Security Service. S.P. --0--
