Road Traffic Fatalities in Armenia Steadily Decline Over 2.5 Years, MIA Reports
For the past 2.5 years, Armenia has recorded a consistent drop in road traffic accident fatalities. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) shared these findings during a press conference summarizing the police department's performance for the first half of 2026.
Armen Mkrtchyan, Acting Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Armenia, highlighted that the newly introduced Patrol Service is not only improving road safety but also playing a crucial role in crime detection. According to his report, the number of traffic-related fatalities has seen a steady decline over the last 2.5 years.
Expanding the Fight Against Cybercrime
As criminal activities increasingly shift to virtual platforms, the Criminal Police is set to enhance its digital capabilities. A specialized cyber laboratory will be launched in the near future to combat technology-driven offenses. This initiative is also expected to strengthen international cooperation in preventing transnational cybercrimes.
"The Internet must also be treated as a territory for police 'patrols'," Mkrtchyan stated, as reported by factor.am.
Protecting the Ecosystem of Lake Sevan
Environmental protection remains another top priority for law enforcement. Mkrtchyan noted that the Water Patrol Service is conducting strict monitoring of Lake Sevan, Armenia's largest freshwater lake, to safeguard its unique ecosystem.
