POLICE NOT MIXED WITH POLITICS - VLADIMIR GASPARYAN

The police system has always stayed aloof from politics, the chief
of police has said.
Vladimir Gasparyan made the statement in an interview with the local
daily Haykakan Zhamanak, when asked whether the senior police officers
sacked recently had to quit office because of connections with the
coalition Prosperour Armenia Party (PAP).
"Heaven forbid if the police went into politics. Neither the society
nor the police would benefit from that. That's my profession," he
said. "It's a long time I have known [PAP leader] Gagik Tsarukyan and
his family. Tsarukyan is a member of our country's Security Council; he
is a citizen of this state and the coalition partner of the incumbent
authorities. By and large, we are friends and that cannot be subject
to any discussion."
Characterizing himself an impartial and straightforward person,
Gasparyan said he would never do anything that would lead to injustice,
disrupting the country's peace.
"I have a serious approach to my position to think of silly things,"
he added.
