    Human trafficking cases decrease in Armenia

    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.
