The Embassy of the United States warmly congratulates the Government of Armenia on maintaining Tier I status for the third year in a row in the Department of State's 2015 Trafficking in Persons assessment. Of the 188 countries covered in the report, only 31 achieved the coveted Tier 1 status. The Government of Armenia earned its Tier 1 ranking by taking concrete actions to fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. For example, in 2014, the Armenian Parliament approved a law establishing standard procedures for the identification, support, protection, and reintegration of suspected and identified trafficking victims by national and local government bodies, NGOs, international organizations, and civil society. In addition, the Armenian police have successfully identified foreign victims trafficked in Armenia and referred them to care, and the government has maintained strong collaborative working ties with anti-trafficking NGOs, lo cal media, donor organizations, and regional partners.
