The council of CIS police chiefs will meet in Yerevan on Thursday to
discuss the fight against corruption and illegal migration, Russian
Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev told reporters upon his arrival
in the Armenian capital.

Nurgaliyev, who heads the Russian delegation, said the participants
would discuss the implementation of the joint plan to combat
terrorism, and the use of an inter-state information databank.

“We’ll also consider the results of work to study the contractual and
legal and organizational basis of cooperation, and amendments to the
regulations on a uniform procedure of international search for wanted
persons,” Nurgaliyev said.

He underlined that the Council is “one of the most effective
executive CIS bodies, and that is participants are making a real
practical contribution to the fight against international crime and
terrorism.”

The Russian minister expressed the hope that the results of the
upcoming meeting would enable CIS law-enforcement bodies to open a
new page in improving the effectiveness of cooperation, especially in
its practical aspect.
