/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recorded crime level increased almost twice in
the country compared to the last year: 6.849 crimes over 2009, Alik
Sargsyan, RA Head of Police said a press conference today.

According to Alik Sargsyan explained the sharp rise partially by the
fact that 10 per cent increase of detection of crime has been recorded
in the country. As another reason for this increase, he named the
worsened situation in the social sphere. "Crime is a social phenomenon,
and the increase in crime has social roots," Alik Sargsyan said.
