POLICE BUY THEIR OWN UNIFORMS FOR WHICH STATE BUDGET ALLOCATES $1.2 MILLION
11.08.2013 18:27 epress.am
Up to 484.6 million AMD (about $1.2 million USD) will be allocated
from Armenia's state budget for police uniforms.
Local daily Haykakan Zhamanak reports that despite this allocation
from the state budget, police officers pay for their uniforms from
their own pockets. The newspaper had earlier reported that officers
receive only their shoes for free, which they say are so uncomfortable
that mostly they don't even wear them.
"And the clothing [i.e. the uniform] police officers buy from the
market or from the police sewing manufacturer," reports the paper.
