YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia is the first regional
country to cooperate with the OSCE in the fight against cyber
crimes through the creation of certain institutions. Director of
the OSCE Yerevan Office Ambassador Vladimir Pryakhin stated this

system from cyber crimes amount to 15 billion dollars. V. Pryakhin
attached importance to the ratification of the Council of Europe
Cybercrime Convention by Armenia in March 2006 and the creation of
the Working Group on Cyber Security in March 2005. The group was
created on the initiative of the OSCE Yerevan Office and is composed
of representatives of the RA President Staff, the NA Staff, the
National Security Council and the Police. By the way, the round-table
discussions held by the working group in March 2006 formed the basis
of the book’s publication. The book has the following chapters:
