ArmInfo.  The construction of the new administrative complex for the Sevan Water Rescue Squad has been completed. From now on, the Squad will operate in more modern conditions, in accordance with international standards, which will  contribute to increased efficiency. This was reported by the press  service of the Armenian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is noted that in this regard, the opening ceremony of the new  administrative complex was held on July 13, attended by Interior  Minister Arpine Sargsyan and US Charge d'Affaires in Armenia David  Allen. The Armenian Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that  Sargsyan expressed gratitude to the US government, the US Embassy in  Armenia, and all partners for supporting the construction of the  special water unit's new administrative complex, emphasizing that the  cooperation established over the years has grown into a constructive  partnership and friendship.

"We are investing in new infrastructure, but this is first and  foremost an investment in improving the safety of our rescuers and  our citizens. No less important is the working conditions and safety  conditions in which rescuers live, carry out their work, and conduct  rescue operations, as the quality of the work we provide to our  citizens largely depends on this," Sargsyan emphasized.

She expressed confidence that the launch of the infrastructure will  create new opportunities for the service's development, strengthen  the capacity of rescuers, and increase the likelihood of successful  completion of each rescue operation.

Allen, in turn, speaking about the cooperation established between  the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the US government, noted that it  is constantly strengthening, including through programs implemented  jointly with the Rescue Service. In this context, he emphasized that  the new administrative complex will contribute to the creation of  safer and more comfortable working conditions for rescuers.

Construction of the administrative complex began in the summer of  2025 and was under the strict supervision of the Ministry of Internal  Affairs throughout the entire period to ensure the quality of  construction work and adherence to established deadlines. The  construction of the water rescue unit in Sevan was carried out with  the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the US European  Command, and the US Embassy Military Task Force in Armenia.
