[Presenter] In Yerevan today, Russian Interior Minister Rashid
Nurgaliyev and the chief of the Armenian police, Alik Sargsyan,
have signed a cooperation agreement. The main task is to coordinate
law-enforcement agencies in their joint search of missing people and
to counter terrorism, corruption and organized crime.

[Nurgaliyev, addressing a meeting] The emerging situation dictates a
need to analyse once again the results of measures being taken and,
already taking into account today’s challenges and threats, to draw
up additional measures to strengthen cooperation, improve an exchange
of information, as well as to increase the effectiveness of joint
operational and search operations.
