    Armenia takes chairmanship in CIS council of interior ministers

    YEREVAN October 14


    The Council of CIS Interior Ministers opened its regular meeting here
    on Friday. Under the regulations of the Council of CIS Interior
    Ministers Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev passed the
    rotating chairmanship in the council to Armenian police chief Alik
    Sarkisyan.

    "During Russia's rotating chairmanship after the St. Petersburg
    meeting of the Council of CIS Interior Ministers in 2010 all necessary
    organizational measures were taken to pursue a stronger strategic
    policy for all-round cooperation between the CIS Interior Ministries,"
    Nurgaliyev recalled. "The efficient information exchange system was
    established urgently and it is important now keep building up our
    efforts to combat the entire range of crimes without any slowdown," he
    said.

    The Council of CIS Interior Ministers always paid a close attention to
    the working discipline in various organizational ways, Nurgaliyev
    noted. "National and departmental ways of control up to the debates
    over the decisions taken at the previous meetings were used for this,"
    he noted. The agreements reached at the St. Petersburg meeting of the
    Council of CIS Interior Ministers were also put into practice. The
    honorary badge and the honorary certificate of the Council of CIS
    Interior Ministers approved at that meeting were already made. The
    Russian interior minister offered to discuss an opportunity for
    awarding the most distinguished police officers in view of the events
    on the occasion of the 20th CIS anniversary.

    Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble is participating in the
    Yerevan meeting of the council. "His attention to the issues, which we
    are planning to discuss today, points to their importance not only in
    the CIS states, but also on the international scene," the interior
    minister believes.

    "The Yerevan meeting of the Council of CIS Interior Ministers is held
    in the year of the 20th CIS anniversary," Sarkisyan recalled. "The
    main result of our interior ministers for this period of time is the
    creation of conditions for gradual development of mutually beneficial
    cooperation and counteraction to modern challenges and threats," he
    pointed out.

    Sarkisyan believes that the current meeting "will give a fresh impetus
    to the interior ministries and the police in the CIS states and will
    build up cooperation between our agencies on the guidelines of our
    service activities."
