April 9 incidents directly proved the sufficiency of the forecasts and
cautions of the RA police, at the same time revealing the consequences
that a needless testing of the ability and will of the Police to hold
offenders legally, especially administratively liable, could have.
The police of the Republic of Armenia state with deep regret that the
behavior of separate citizens, who flagrantly violated the peaceful
course of the assembly and thus became uncontrollable even for the
organizers of the assembly, made the Police use force against the
offenders, who were immediately isolated from the venue of the assembly
and held administratively liable, after which the assembly regained its
peaceful nature and the participants were granted the chance to return
to the main venue of the notified assembly, namely: Freedom square.
The police of the Republic of Armenia made all the possible efforts
not to let the irresponsible and anti legal conduct of separate
assembly participants lead to more grievous consequences and on the
other hand limit the complete realization of the civil rights of
other assembly participants who had peaceful intentions. The officers
of the RA Police efficiently carried out the main duties vested to
them by the RA law "On freedom of assemblies" and law "On Police",
averting the danger of escalation of the situation and emergence of
other negative consequences.
The police of the Republic of Armenia finds it necessary to mention
that those who infringed the law during the march aren't arrested
instead they were just isolated from the venue of the assembly, were
taken to the RA police to be hold administratively liable and were
set free a bit later.
The police of the Republic of Armenia announces that the statements of
separate representatives of our society concerning the disproportionate
operation of the police officers, to put it mildly, are hasty enough
and are deprived of special reasonings. The Ra police will appraise
the legality of those incidents for each case and will leave its
appraisals to the public's judgement.
