June 17, 2011 | 20:12
YEREVAN. - People departing from Armenian airports, are now required
to undergo a compulsory procedure of fingerprinting. On June 17
Armenian Government approved the bill "On state registration of
fingerprints," submitted by Armenian Police. It will be sent to the
Parliament in due course.
The project aims not only at prevention and combat of crime, but also
at verification and identification of identities. Police says the need
of identification might rise not only due to law violations, but also
in cases involving accidents, war, hostilities or rescue operations
when there is need to identify the missing people and the dead, cases
when people cannot provide information about themselves because of age
or health issues.
