YEREVAN, JUNE 7, ARMENPRESS: June 4 in Vienna, Deputy Chief of RA
Police Arthur Osikyan presented to OSCE participant countries the
2010-2011 program on reforms of the Armenian Police.
Press service of the Armenian Forign Affairs Minsitry told Armenpress
that at the meeting Ambassador Kairat Abdrakhmanov, Permanent
Representative of Kazakhstan to the OSCE, delivered a welcoming speech.
Welcoming the guests he particularly noted that the OSCE highly
assesses the steps undertaken by Armenia in this direction and
expressed hope that the successful implementation of the program by
Armenia can serve an example for other OSCE countries. OSCE Permanent
Representative, Ambassador Ashot Hovakimyan delivered a speech as well.

trust among the society through the help of distinct mechanisms
and standards.

consistently implement the presented program on reforms and will
closely cooperate with all the interested organizations of that sphere,
including with the OSCE.
He also noted that in this sphere he highly assesses the role of
the OSCE office in Yerevan. During the meeting Armenian President's

meeting the 2011 program on police reforms was briefly presented,
the opportunities of the involvement of the OSCE and support were
discussed. OSCE Secretary General, welcoming the achievements in
