YEREVAN. - Armenian News-NEWS.am received an open letter by `A group
of policemen on duty in the Yerevan city Mashtots Park' addressed to
the Chief of Armenia's Police Vladimir Gasparyan.
`Mr. Gasparyan, taking into account your position on the role and the
status of the policeman in the society, we want to invite your
attention on the attitude of certain environmental activists in the
Mashtots Park in Yerevan downtown towards the policemen.
There are numerous videos uploaded on YouTube testifying that the
policeman is neglected and even mocked. We understand very well that
there are special people among the activists who intentionally play on
our nerves. Some people do not mock us directly but scold by making us
appear into funny and inconvenient situation, violating our dignity.
In a relevant case when there is no direct insult but there does exist
mock and disregard, what a policeman can do to overturn such an
attitude?
We do not support rude methods and have no intentions to apply force
towards our citizens, however, the society should understand that we,
as law enforcers, have no right to be in such situation. Otherwise,
what steps should be taken against those who abuse the policeman,' the
letter reads.
