    The work of the Joint Panel of the Russian Ministry of Internal
    Affairs and Armenian Police has been accomplished and Russian Minister
    of Internal Affairs Rashid Nurgaliyev and Chief of Armenian Police
    Alik Sargsyan have signed an agreement on cooperation between the
    entities in 2010, a RIA Novosti news agency correspondent reports down
    the line.

    The agreement was signed aboard a Russian "Imperiya" ship.

    Nurgaliyev expressed his content with outcomes of the panel board.

    "The panel was held constructively. I am very much content with
    results, and also decisions, taken during discussion of issues. The
    decisions made will allow us to perfect joint work in fighting
    transnational crime in future", the Russian minister said.

    At the session of the joint panel, Nurgaliyev and Sargsyan discussed
    issues of countering interregional crime, including search and
    detention of criminals, who had fled, and issues of cooperation
    between the two agencies aimed at fighting illegal circulation of
    narcotic substances and their precursors.

    It is planned that issues of fighting economic and tax crime, illegal
    financial operations and other legal violations of economic
    orientation will be raised at the panel's session.

    Sargsyan, who had arrived on Wednesday [23 July] from Armenia, took an
    interest in experience of Russian colleagues in setting up the Centre
    for Traffic Monitoring and Operational Administration in Krasnodar
    Territory, which is one of the elements of Bezopasnyy Gorod [Secure
    City] institutional-programme complex introduced in the Russian
    Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    The chief of Armenian police, in particular, took interest in the
    system of control over traffic flows on roads. He believes this system
    has good a perspective of strengthening traffic security. Sargsyan did
    not rule out that the experience of Russian colleagues will be
    introduced in Armenia in the near future.
