For the last 12 months five criminal cases have been initiated in
the RF Prosecutor’s Office for crimes committed because of national
discrimination. All the five of them were against Armenians. RF Public
Prosecutor Yuri Chayka who was in Yerevan on a two-day official visit
confirmed the fact.

"Unfortunately there are really suchlike crimes. All of them are
halted; moreover, I have created a department in the Prosecutor’s
Office which must realize control in order to preserve federal security
and national relations", Mr. Chayka mentioned.

The delegation with Mr. Chayka at the head arrived in Armenia on
September 21 in order to "refresh" the cooperation between the RA
and RF Prosecutors. Up to now the prosecutors cooperated according to
an agreement signed in 1993. Today the RA and RF Public Prosecutors
held a joint session and then signed an agreement about cooperation
of the Prosecutor’s Offices of both countries.

The agreement mentions the main directions of cooperation of the
Prosecutors, regulates the forms of cooperation, clears out the forms
and orders of rejections, etc.
