    Armenian police target sex slave trade

    Yerevan. (Interfax) - Two people are under arrest following a joint
    operation undertaken by Russian Interior Ministry and the Armenian
    police service, aimed at curbing the activities of criminal groups
    involved in selling girls in Armenia into sex slavery in the United
    Arab Emirates.

    "After the abduction the girls were moved to Russia where documents
    were made to move them to the United Arab Emirates to be exploited as
    sex laborers," Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev told a news
    conference in Yerevan on Friday.

    Two Russian citizens have been arrested one of whom was in charge of
    sending the girls on their way from Moscow's Domodedovo airport and the
    other rented "decent apartments" in Moscow where they were kept before
    flying to their destination.

    Nearly 100 cases of abduction have been documented, he said.

    Asked about the so-called Armenian Mafia, Nurgaliyev said that it would
    be wrong to believe that just one ethnic group is involved in criminal
    activities. But he admitted Armenians are in command of about five
    criminal mobs in Russia. The work aimed at stopping them is being
    carried out with the aid of the Armenian police, he said.
