The deputy of the Prosecutor General of Armenia Mnatsakan Sargsyan
stated during the international conference on trafficking which
kicked off on September 5 Armenia makes effective anti-trafficking
efforts. "The procuracy of Armenia cannot be indifferent towards
the problem of trafficking in the country," said Aghvan Hovsepyan's
deputy. According to him, the police and the Office of the Prosecutor
General of Armenia have set up a joint anti-trafficking agency. "The
revealed cases of trafficking grow every year. In the first half of
2007 20 vases were revealed against 32 in 2006," Mnatsakan Sargsyan
said. He said the procuracy and the police collaborate with European
organizations, which helps raise the effectiveness of anti-trafficking
efforts.
It is notable that with this effectiveness Armenia would not earn
the approval of the U.S. Department of State. The annual reports of
the Department of State point out that the efforts of the Armenian
government to tackle this problem are not sufficient.
