OSCE OFFICE TO HELP RENOVATE ARMENIAN POLICE TRAINING CENTRE

YEREVAN, 13 April 2006 – The OSCE Office in Yerevan has signed an
agreement to help renovate all six buildings of the Armenian Police
Training Centre for non-commissioned officers.

Visiting the Centre today, Ambassador Vladimir Pryakhin, Head of the
OSCE Office, said: “Non-commissioned police officers are the ones
who work closest with ordinary citizens, so improving their learning
environment and bringing the curriculum into line with international
standards will help enhance the relationship with the community.

Co-operation with the training Centre is part of the ongoing activities
of the Office to assist democratic reform of the Armenian Police”.

Ambassador Pryakhin visited the Centre together with Major-General
Ararat Mahtesyan, the First Deputy Head of the Armenian Police,
and Anthony Godfrey, Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy
in Armenia.

The renovation is part of a police assistance programme, launched
by the OSCE Office in 2003. It includes the refurbishment of the
police training Centre, made possible with financial contributions
from the governments of Belgium, Sweden and the United States, the
development of a curriculum in line with international standards and
the introduction of a community-policing model in one of the police
districts of Yerevan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
