The document is in very good overall condition, show only minor wrinkles and wear to the edges of the red cover.

2. Greeting on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Soviet Department of Criminal Investigations. The letter is addressed personally to Arutyunian whose name is typographically printed (which leads us to believe he was at least a high ranking police detective, probably a department chief or even higher level) and names him a "veteran officer of criminal investigations". Hand-signed and dated "19" October 1978 in blue marker by Maj. General Patalov, Minister of the Interior of Armenia. On the opposite side is the ubiquitous quote of Felix Dzerzhinsky "One can only be a Chekist if he has cool head, hot heart and clean hands". The document is in very good to excellent condition, shows only minor wear to the blank outer pages.
