The Embassy of the United States in Yerevan has congratulated the Government of Armenia on maintaining a high status for the third year in a row in the Department of State's 2015 Trafficking in Persons assessment.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Embassy emphasized that 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," the Embassy said.
