ArmInfo. Armenian policemen have a long way to go yet to become
professionals, the head of the Armenian delegation to PACE, says the
chairman of the standing committee on state and legal issues of the
Armenian Parliament David Haroutyunyan.

"The Armenian police were not ready for the Mar 1 disorders. Today
we need experts for explaining why this all happened and who is
really to blame for that. Our key goal is to prevent the recurrence
of such incidents in the future. The ombudsman of Armenia must take
a very active part in the study of the case. As a representative
of the authorities I am also responsible for what happened," says
Haroutyunyan.
