REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE OF RUSSIAN MIGRATION SERVICE OPENED IN YEREVAN
The representative office of the Russian migration service opened in Yerevan today. As Russia's Ambassador to Armenia Anatoly Dryukov stated at the opening ceremony, the present service will allow more operative resolving of all the questions connected with the legalization of the migration flows from Armenia to Russia and vice versa. "Though Armenians as a rule are law-abiding residents of the country they live in, the interaction between the law enforcement bodies is extremely important", - the diplomat noted. Head of the Russian migration representation Alexander Rostovtsev in his turn underscored that since June of the current year 7 criminal cases - for most part on the illegal migration and documentation falsification - have been instituted as result of the joint measures undertaken by the representatives of the Armenian and Russian MHA.
