    Russian and Armenian crack police have practiced measures against
    massive unrest at a proving ground near Krasnodar.

    It was the first-ever such joint exercise, with about 1,500 officers
    and men involved. Armored vehicles, police helicopters and various
    types of firearms were used.

    Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev spoke highly of the degree
    of cooperation by Russian and Armenian police.

    "We are quite happy with the performance of Russian and Armenian
    law enforcers. Their crack units are well prepared for coping with
    various tasks," Nurgaliyev said.

    An international anti-terrorist exercise of several crack police
    units from CIS member-countries will be held in Dushanbe in the spring
    of 2006.
