    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Despite the complicated international situation
    and the world economic crisis, RF Federal Security Service's
    border guards continue performing their tasks on Armenian-Iranian
    and Armenian-Turkish borders in full scale, lieutenant general
    Sergey Bondarev, Head of RF FSB's Administration in Armenia,
    told today news conference devoted to the Day of Frontier Defense
    Guards. "In cooperation with Armenian law enforcement agencies, we
    take all measures towards disclosing and preventing transboundary
    smuggling. Since the start of 2009, 99 lawbreakers have been arrested
    on the borderline. Illegal attempts of crossing border have increased
    by 12% in comparison with the same period of 2008. Frontier guards
    confiscated items with a total price of 494,7 Rubles (not including
    the 21 pieces of cold weapon)," the lieutenant general said.

    According to Mr. Bondarev, serious attention is paid to preventing
    transboundary abaction. "The last incident of abaction was recorded
    in 2004. Besides, we have found inaccuracies in the documents of 1023
    individuals. 499 individuals were denied permission to cross border,"
    the RF official said. Summing up the results, Bondarev assured
    participants that Frontier Administration is capable of performing
    all its tasks. "Armenians do not have to worry. RA state border will
    be guarded as properly as before."
