On December 8, 2009, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia and the Government of
the Republic of Armenia dedicated the second building of the National
Bureau of Expertises, a State Non-Commercial Organization, which was
renovated with U.S. Government assistance. U.S. Ambassador Marie L.
Yovanovitch officially transferred the facility to the Prosecutor
General of the Republic of Armenia, Aghvan Hovsepyan.
The U.S. Government, through the U.S. Embassy’s International Narcotics
and Law Enforcement Affairs Office, invested over $1,275,000.00 to
complete renovations of the facility. The renovation project was
carried out by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers using the expertise of
local construction company CESCO Ltd.
The project included checking the structural integrity of the building,
renovation of the first, second and third floors, installation of
water and electrical supply, fire alarm and telephone systems. The
building is equipped with an elaborate security system, which will
ensure controlled access to the laboratories and the security of the
evidence. This laboratory will facilitate advanced forensic examination
of evidence in criminal and civil cases, supporting justice and the
rule of law for the people of Armenia.
