CHIEF OF ARMENIA'S POLICE AND HIS HUMAN RIGHTS
Tert.am
27.10.11
Chief of Armenia's police Alik Sargsyan ordered law-enforcers to
prevent the people from approaching the government building.
They gather in front of the building every Thursday to tell about
their problems.
Talking to journalists following the Armenian government's sitting
Oct. 26, General Alik Sargsyan noted that he did it to protect those
people. "Their state has nothing in common with justice or sober
judgment," he said.
"Otherwise, I would have had to take measures. I must not allow people
to be insulted. They are insulting all the government members coming
in and out of the building. This situation must not be allowed to go
on. May be they need help. Relevant work has to be done with them.
They should understand it is not a mere action, but an action going
beyond the norms set for actions and processions," General Sargsyan
said.
In leaving the government building he used to talk to the protesters
every time, which eased tension.
General Sagsyan assured the journalists that he always tried to help
the protesters even when their problems had nothing to do with police.
However, the incident that followed the government's latest sitting
had nothing to do with justice.
In response to journalists' remarks concerning violations of human
rights, General Sargsyan said, "Aren't we humans too? Who's going to
defend our rights?"
