YEREVAN, June 28. /ARKA/. The first consignment of new cars for
Traffic Police will arrive in Armenia by September 1, said Head of
Armenia's Traffic Police Ishkhan Ishkanyan.
"At present significant reforms are being implemented in the structure
of Armenia's Traffic Police. Unfortunately, we did not manage to
provide the World Bank's participation in the reforms," he said and
added that the negotiations with the WB were conducted two years ago,
however, they had no positive results.
He said that the WB participation would have made the reforms of the
Traffic Police more effective and significant. However, Ishkanyan
assured that the reforms will be conducted irrespective of the WB
participation.
"There already exist corresponding decisions in this direction,
and by order of Head of Armenia's Police financial assistance was
provided on purchasing corresponding vehicles with fixation video
equipment," Ishkanyan said. He said that it is also envisaged to
build an operative center of Traffic Police.
He said that only mobile police posts will remain in the structure of
the Traffic Police, all the other sentry posts that did not justify
themselves will be taken away, except those located near well-guarded
facilities. Ishkanyan also pointed out that the Traffic Police lacks
personnel, in particular, only in Yerevan there are 80-100 vacancies.
The total number of new cars for Armenia's Traffic Police will make
350.
