Structural changes in the RA Investigative Committee
07-08-2026 15:33 Armenia Press release
The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia, Arthur Poghosyan, has issued an order to implement structural changes aimed at optimizing workload, proper distribution of human resources, and significantly increasing the productivity of investigative processes:
In particular, the Second Garrison Investigative Division has been formed within the Investigative Committee, while the Division for Ensuring International Inquiries has been reorganized into the Department of International Cooperation:
Thus, the establishment of the Second Garrison Investigative Division is due to the workload of the existing garrison investigative units within the Investigative Committee, as well as the necessity for criminal proceedings regarding military crimes to be conducted in a reasonable timeframe and with proper investigation:
The Second Garrison Investigative Division will be located in the city of Vedi, Ararat Province:
Regarding the necessity of reorganizing the Department of International Cooperation, it should be noted that due to the increase in transnational crimes, there has recently been a rise in the volume of inquiries for international legal assistance and joint work with partner states, which resulted in the staffing and structural limitations of the former division leading to excessive workload:
As a result, the reorganization of the department provides an opportunity to clearly delineate functions, ensure higher productivity and operational efficiency in the development of international inquiries. The change is aimed at expanding cooperation with foreign partners and international organizations and strengthening institutional capacities:
