YEREVAN, JULY 3, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Prosecutor General,
Aghvan Hovsepian, during the solemn sitting dedicated to the
89th anniversary of the Armenian Prosecutor's Office, said that
thanks to close cooperation between the law enforcement bodies
and the Prosecutor's Office, crime spreading in Armenia is
considerably inferior to the indices of many Council of Europe
member-countries.
In his words, the new law "On Prosecutor's Office," which
came into force two months ago, is a law of a prosecutor's
office developing by the democratic way, which "by its internal
logic is aimed at protection of citizen's rights and freedoms,
as well as state interests." A. Hovsepian said that proceeding
from the new law's requirements, thay have established the
structures of the Prosecutor General's Office and Military
Prosecutor's Office, have formed prosecutors' qualification and
ethics commissions, have made other changes envisaged by the
law. As he evaluated, taking the investigator's structure out of
the system of prosecutor's office will lead to cadre changes:
that process will finish until December 1.
A. Hovsepian said that the RA Prosecutor's Office expands
its foreign contacts: the Prosecutor's Office cooperates with
the Prosecutors' International Association, takes part in annual
conferences of Council of Europe member-states' Prosecutor
Generals, as well in the proceedings of the Coordination Council
of CIS Prosecutor Generals. The latter's regular sitting, as the
RA Prosecutor General said, is planned to the held in autumn
this year in Yerevan.
