Armenian police threatens to use special means against protestors

Armenian police warns about the likelihood of official using of special means in the case of turmoil during the protest actions, Armenia Today reported.

The statement made by the police calls the participants of protest actions to fulfill "legitimate demands of law enforcement agencies' employees".

The statement issued by the police press-service notes that all this time the police officers "remained tolerant" in various protest actions of the citizens.

"The methods used by the police up to date, in particular, the appeal to the demonstrators to act within law, not to disturb the public order, to respect others rights, has been exhausted, as many perceive these methods as opportunity for permissiveness," the message said.

Armenian police warns that according to the law "On police", the police officers can use special means and physical force as an exceptional measure.

"The police will use special means within the law in the future," the police statement noted.
