ArmInfo. The Armenian police urged not to politicize the statement of Vladimir Gasparyan.
"During the April 25 rally on the Republic Square an attempt was made to distort the statement of the head of the Police of Armenia Vladimir Gasparyan to the society and the police and to amend it with political color .We state that the words of the Chief of Police of Armenia are absolutely not politicized and, in essence, are the words of the head of the system who is concerned about the stability of the state, responsible for maintaining public order, protecting the rights of statehood and citizens, "the RA Police said in a statement to ArmInfo.
Note that on the eve, the head of the Police of Armenia Vladimir Gasparyan addressed to fellow citizens, where he stressed that any revolution becomes meaningless if attempts are made to to destroy the foundations. In the statement of Gasparyan, in particular, it is spoken about that he did not want to touch on the legal side of the recent events, as the Police repeatedly made statements on this issue. "Police is above politics and outside political processes, the police are the guarantor of the stability, peace and quiet of this state." The police are a citizen of this state, not a representative of the government or opposition, and attempts to persuade the police on either side increase the split in which we can find all We are trying to get the defender of the homeland to go to treachery and can not justify any goal, "Gasparyan said in his address. As the head of the RA Police reminded, thousands of lives were given to build the state, and it can collapse in a matter of hours, which is unacceptable.
Meanwhile, opposition lawmaker Nikol Pashinyan at a rally on April 25 interpreted Gasparyan's words as a signal that the police now and on will not follow the instructions of the authorities, and the security services today will be more willing to carry out his orders than those of acting Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan.
