Press Review

In an editorial, “Aravot” tries to explain why the few individuals convicted of pimping and trafficking Armenian women abroad for sexual exploitation usually get suspended jail sentences. “That mystery is very easy to resolve,” says the paper. “It is impossible to engage in a business which has a lot to do with getting a foreign visa. Armenian [crime] bosses are the middle echelon, while the pyramid is topped by our law-enforcers that signal to the caught pimps: ‘Don’t worry, we are with you. You will be prosecuted a bit, after which we will continue our joint business.’”
