The President of Armenia on the excuse of the police regarding the regress of the republic in terms of ensuring security: These are tales to tell children

ArmInfo. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan at the enlarged meeting of the College of Police expressed a sharp discontent with the regress of the republic in the plan of ensuring public order and security.

"First of all, I should note that Armenia has stood out as a safe country for many years, as people who visited Armenia with various missions and tourists simply talked about it, it is naturally encouraging. At the same time, it should be noted that in the last period According to the research carried out by some international structures, there is a significant retreat in Armenia's indicators, which causes concern, especially since during the same period some of our neighbors registered a positive shift. I do not accept any excuse, no reason, I do not accept it when they say: others hide crimes, do things, do it ... These are tales that must be told to the children. The international structures are very well aware of these circumstances and they have every opportunity to find out, what is the situation with crime in a particular country, "the president said, stressing that it is necessary to strive to continuously record progress.

According to him, the main goal is to take a stable place among the most secure and competitive countries.  "This goal undoubtedly contains an economic element, the safe environment undoubtedly contributes to the development of tourism and to the growth of investments, and I consider it extremely important to provide the necessary environment for social harmony, where everyone should be able to exercise their rights or to fulfill their duties without violating the legitimate interests of others. "

Undoubtedly, the head of state underlined, there are and will be individuals who will try to realize their own or group aspirations at the expense of individuals, properly exercising their constitutional rights and freedoms. "Therefore, the police should always be prepared to respond proportionately to various phenomena, and the police must be prepared to look on different planes of an overt misdemeanor and someone who uses their civil rights in good faith or fulfills their professional duty. Let everyone remember:  to achieve a legitimate aim it is also important to act The illegal interference of the authorities in the rights and freedoms is inadmissible, even if the goal is fair, "the head of state summed up.
