YEREVAN, September 24. /ARKA/. U.S. Charge d’Affaires to Armenia
Joseph Pennington and Armenia’s Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan
signed last Friday an agreement on providing Armenia with financial
assistance worth $2.709mln.
The agreement follows the cooperation agreement the Armenian and
U.S. governments signed in 2001, Hovsepyan said.
"The money will be distributed among the Financial Monitoring Center
of the Central Bank of Armenia and the laboratories of the National
Bureau of Expertise," the prosecutor general said.
The funds will help combat illegal immigration and trafficking.
Hovsepyan thanked the U.S. government for its contribution to Armenia’s
legislative and judicial reforms.
In his turn, Pennington said the U.S.A. stands ready to support
Armenia.
