13:53 09/08/2013 » Society
8 cases of human trafficking were recorded in the first six months of
this year in Armenia, marking a decrease by 7 compared to the same
period of the previous year (15), Armenian Deputy Prosecutor General
Mnatsakan Sargsyan said during the board meeting of the Prosecutor
General's Office.
Studies by NGOs and international organizations show a decline in the
risk of human trafficking in Armenia. It is due to the increase of
awareness of human trafficking among population, particularly among
vulnerable groups as well as strict punishment of human traffickers,
Sargsyan said.
7 human trafficking cases were opened in the first six months of this
year against 8 in the same period in 2012.
Armenia's progress in the fight against human trafficking was also
recorded in the annual report of the US State Department.
