The Russian Interior Ministry and the Armenian police will exchange
plans for solving crimes, also cyber crimes, Russian Interior Minister
Vladimir Kolokoltsev said on Monday. He said such an arrangement
was made at the joint panel of the Russian Interior Ministry and the
Armenian police in Sochi on Monday.

“We have been conducting joint operations with Armenian colleagues
for a number of years now and there were specific results. We agreed
today to intensify our cooperation and pass on from the exchange
of information to the exchange of plans to solve crimes,” he said,
noting that this would make joint work more effective.

Kolokoltsev said, specifically, it is intended to intensify cooperation
in fighting cyber crimes. This was a separate topic of the discussion.

“Cyber crimes cause substantial material damage in many countries. For
instance, in the United States, according to official data only, it
amounts to nearly 114 billion dollars annually. According to expert
estimate, the aggregate annual damage is about 2 billion dollars in
Russia,” the minister said.

He stressed that while national borders were a barrier to criminals
not long ago, the internet’s development in the recent years cardinally
changed the situation. ‘The number of cyber crimes grows in proportion
to the number of network users. According to the Interpol assessment,
the pace of the crime growth in the world-wide web is the highest, and
there is every indication this trend will persist,” Kolokoltsev said.

He suggested to the Armenian colleagues to analyze the work done in
fighting cyber crime and to determine the prospects and ways of the
further strengthening of cooperation.
