Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(SBU) Police detained Tigran Rushanyan (nickname - Tigran the Great) on suspicion of trafficking October 4, 2004 at Yerevan's Zvartnots Airport. Press reports claimed that he had recruited and sent eleven women to Turkey to engage in prostitution, charging each of them USD 150. On the same day, police detained 34-year-old Siranush M. on the same suspicion. According to the press this woman recruited and sent prostitutes to the United Arab Emirates during February and March of 2004, allegedly making a profit of USD 1000. The Prosecutor's Office of Yerevan's Malatia-Sebastia region, responsible for both cases, declined to provide additional information on the cases, noting they are still under investigation. ------------------------------------- COMMENT: PUBLIC AWARENESS INCREASING ------------------------------------- 3.
