BISHKEK, October 19 (RIA Novosti) - In Bishkek on Tuesday, Russian and Kirghiz interior ministers Rashid Nurgaliev and Bakirdin Subanbekov signed the protocol on interaction between their ministries in the struggle against organised crime.

They agreed on interaction in the revealing and exposure of terrorist and extremist crimes also in the transport infrastructure.

The two interior ministries have also agreed on the exchange of information on international crime. Special attention in the protocol is given to opposing crimes in illegal drug and mood-changers traffic, illegal migration and in the field of high technologies.

At the joint conference Lieutenant-General Vladimir Gordienko, head of the criminal investigation main department of the criminal police at the Russian Interior Ministry, said that in 2003 citizens of Kirghizia committed 385 crimes in Russia, 676 since the start of 2004, or 1.5 percent of the total committed by foreigners in the Russian Federation.

Over the last four years, 143 persons wanted by the Kirghiz interior organs have been detained in Russia.

In Gordienko's opinion, for efficient interaction between the police organs of the two states "Kirghizia is to join the joint operation Rozysk (Search), carried out by Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Tajikistan". He also said that in September 2004, during only four days of the operation, over 6,000 wanted criminals were detained, including 147 on interstate search. Gordienko noted that "a broad exchange of operative-search and criminal information between the two countries will help in attaining weighty results in the search for stolen automobiles, weapons and will make it possible more efficiently to fight against economic crimes, illegal drug traffic, as well as extremist and political crimes".
