ArmInfo. Russian border control again arrested citizen of Angola Donegal Bob Joe, who tries to cross Armenian state border illegally.  

According to Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the 

Russian Federation press service, on June 17 this year in the village 

of Araksavan, located in close proximity to the state border, a 

member of the voluntary people's squad noticed an unknown man who 

asked questions to villagers in English. "The appearance of an 

unknown person caused reasonable suspicion among the villager, and he 

immediately informed the employees of the Frontier Department of the 

FSS of Russia in RA about this fact, in addition, employees of the 

territorial department of the National Security Service and the 

police of Armenia were notified. After checking the documents of a 

suspicious man, it turned out that he was a citizen of Angola Donegal  

Bob Joe, born in 1982. He had, in addition to the passport, documents 

certifying his refugee status in France and a certificate of release 

from places of detention in the territory of the Republic of Armenia, 

"the department's message reads. 

At that, it is stressed that during the survey it became known that 

Donegal  Bob Joe was serving a sentence for illegally crossing the 

state border from Turkey to Armenia. "After his release from prison, 

he bought an air ticket on the route Yerevan-Paris, but because of 

the lack of necessary documents to cross the state border, he could 

not fly. After that, he began to look for other ways of leaving for 

France. According to him, he had no intention of repeating his 

attempts to illegally cross the state border of Armenia.  

Representatives of law enforcement bodies of Armenia decided to 

transfer Donegal Bob Joe to the French Embassy in due course. The 

management of the Border Guard Agency expresses gratitude to the 

local residents of Armenia, who along with the border guards are 

guarding the tranquility on the state border, "the PC said.

To recall, citizen of Angola Donegal  Bob Joe on June 15, 2016, 

officers of the Frontier Department of the FSS of Russia in Armenia 

detained for attempting to illegally cross the Turkish-Armenian state 

border. The intruder crossed the border river Araks, and then 

overcame the signaling complex and several tens of meters moved along 

the border, trying to "cover up the tracks." After some time, the 

intruder made an attempt to go deeper into the territory of Armenia. 

Local residents, who are members of the voluntary people's squad, saw 

the unknown and promptly reported to the frontier post. Thus, as a 

result of coordinated actions of enterprising citizens in the area of 

the village of Yervandashat, the violator of the state border was 

detained.
