FRONTIER VIOLATIONS HAVE INCREASED

Politics

The breaches of the Armenian frontier have doubled in comparison with the previous year data. Over 413 attempts of borderline violations have been prevented this year.

During one of the violations a Turkish serviceman tried to enter Armenia attempting to evade the army discipline. By the way, the Turkish soldier was armless. The Russian frontier forces immediately returned the deserter to the Turkish side.

We got this information from Sergey Bondarev, head of Russian Frontier Forces Department in Armenia. The statistic data of the passing year reveal that the border-guards have combated against smuggling five times better and have compensated cargo of about 3.9 million rubbles.

By the way, 14 people rendering direct assistance to the smugglers have been identified.

The head of the Frontier Forces states that they have managed to solve a number of issues in view of frontier security. But one of their major tasks is to control all the flights at the entrance and exit of “Zvartnots” Airport.

The control is realized with the joint efforts of Armenian and Russian border-guards.

Sergey Bondarev claims that the Russian Frontier Forces Service has got 4.5 thousand members in Armenia.

To note, the border-guards’ board gets financial assistance from both the Armenian and Russian sides. This year, the Russian government has allotted 24 million USD and the Armenian government – 10 million USD to the board.
