YEREVAN, September 10 (RIA Novosti) - US Ambassador John Heffern and
Armenian Minister of Justice Hovhannes Manukyan have agreed on the
US allocating an additional $ 2.3 million to fund programs providing
justice sector assistance to Armenia.
John Heffern noted that the main objective of cooperation with
Armenia is to attract foreign investments, and it is a transparent
judicial system that makes a state attractive. He also stated that the
cooperation will be primarily aimed at the modernization of police
and penal institutions. Hovhannes Manukyan thanked his American
partners and remarked that the stability of the judiciary system and
the supremacy of law are Armenia's priorities.
The assistance will continue to help the Armenian Government fight
transnational crime, contribute to increasing Armenian law enforcement
capacities, and support overall judicial and legislative reforms.
Moreover, programs will provide support in the development of a new
corrections and probation system.
The agreement came as an amendment to the Letter of Agreement on
Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement of 2001.
Since the signing of the original Letter of Agreement in 2001,
the US Government has provided more than USD 22 million of justice
sector assistance to Armenia through the US Embassy's International
Narcotics and Law Enforcement Section. The assistance and cooperation
correspond to the shared desire between the US embassy in Yerevan and
the Government of Armenia to modernize Armenia's security sector, curb
corruption, and improve respect for human rights and the rule of law.
