YEREVAN December 25
Russian borderguards have detained dozens of border violators in
Armenia in 2012, chief of the border department of the Russian Federal
Security Service in Armenia Viktor Vlasov said on Tuesday, summing up
the results of the outgoing year.
"In 2012, borderguards detained more than 190 violators of the state
border and more than 50 violators of the border regime," he said.
"Borderguards revealed errors in documents of 2,000 people crossing
Armenia's border. More than 550 people were banned to cross the
border."
More than 150 cold steel pieces, more than 50 firearms munitions
pieces, more than one kilogram of toxic substances and contraband
goods to the sum of 300,000 roubles were seized. "Such results were
achieved thanks to both efforts of borderguards and residents of
border settlements," Vlasov said. Thus, voluntary bordreguard teams
took part in 3,000 border protection operations, both by themselves
and jointly with border servicemen.
"As part of measures against illegal migration, new channels of
illegal migration from Iran, Armenia and Georgia to West European and
CIS countries via Russia and Armenia were exposed in 2012," he added.
