The Chairman of the RA Investigative Committee Argishti Kyaramyan received the delegation headed by the Executive Director of Europol Catherine De Bolle.
 

The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the RA to the Kingdom of the Netherlands Tigran Balayan was also present at the meeting.
 

The Chairman of the RA Investigative Committee Argishti Kyaramyan appreciated highly the Europol mission to provide expert, informative support not only to the member states of the European Union but also to the states cooperating with EU in fight against transnational crime. Argishti Kyaramyan expressed hope that the visit of the Executive Director of Europol will open a new page for close cooperation between Europol and RA Investigative Committee. The Chairman of the RA Investigative Committee attributed its necessity to the importance of promotion of international cooperation in the fight against illegal turnover of narcotic drugs, trafficking, cybercrimes, money laundering using crypto currencies, organized crime, as well as the return of the capital taken out of the country through criminal means and the development of the capacities of the RA Investigative Committee.
 

Mrs. De Bolle underlined the importance of her visit in terms of expanding cooperation with the RA law enforcement system, clarifying the main directions of Europol's support to Armenia. She noted that Europol is open to cooperation with Armenia and is ready to support the further integration of Armenia with the points of contact operating in EU member or partner countries, the prerequisites for which have already been set. This international platform of communication will also enable the RA Investigative Committee to dramatically increase the efficiency of exchanging the necessary information with the competent structures of the countries included in the network, responding to legal issues.
 

During the meeting other issues of mutual interest were also discussed. Agreements aimed at making the cooperation substantive were reached.
