    Prospects for cooperation in fighting organized crime

    By Svetlana Alikina and Tigran Liloyan

    YEREVAN


    Prospects for cooperation in fighting organized crime and cleansing the
    Russian and Armenian economies of criminality will be discussed on
    Friday at a meeting of the governing boards of the Russian Interior
    Ministry and the Armenian police force.

    Russia's Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev and Armenian police chief
    Gaik Arutyunian, as well as the leaders of the directorates subordinate
    to them will take part in the meeting.

    This will be the fifth meeting of the interior ministers of the two
    countries since 2000, the Russian interior minister Nurgaliyev noted.
    He said the creation of a common law-enforcement space of the two
    states was the key priority.

    The meeting will also discuss interaction in the struggle against
    organized criminal groups and communities operating on an international
    level. The parties also plan to dwell on fighting drug trafficking and
    suppressing trade in people.

    According to the Russian Interior Ministry, there has been a noticeable
    reduction in the overall number of crimes committed by CIS citizens.
    Lately, 254 members and 45 leaders of criminal groups organized by
    natives of Armenia have been taken to criminal account; and 165
    criminal cases have been opened.
