Support A1+!The RA Government intends to process a new national program in order to combat trafficking, but no real steps have yet been taken as the state budget does not allot means for that. According to US deputy Ambassador to Armenia Anthony Godfry, if the RA Government allots a certain sum for this purpose, the USA and the UNDP are ready to actively finance the project.
Today deputy Ambassador Godfry and political-economic expert of the Embassy Masha Herbst met Hranoush Hakobyan, the head of the NA Standing Committee on Science, Education, Culture and Youth.
Mrs. Hakobyan agreed that trafficking is present in today’s reality, and measures must be taken in order to eradicate it: the national project must be put into execution, Armenia must sign international treaties regulating the field, and the legislative field must be regulated. He expressed readiness to contribute to the solution of the financial problem and to apply to the RA Government.
