YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. Interim Police Chief Colonel Arman Sargsyan has held a consultation on September 18th with ranking officers of the police force, the law enforcement agency said in a news release.

“Institutional changes are expected within the police soon, however this doesn’t mean that we should serve in an expectant atmosphere and decrease the working rhythm, on the contrary – it is necessary to strengthen the achievements, eliminate the existing deficiencies and it is necessary that in a short period of time the public sees a new police – supplemented with more skillful, more professional officers who clearly realize their duties and rights,” Sargsyan – who was named interim police chief today – told the officers.

Speaking about increasing the efficiency of service, Sargsyan emphasized that it should be based on coherent improvement of working and performance discipline. In this context he also spoke about an impartial and rigorous approach in selecting staffers, as well as the intolerance that has been adopted against corruption.

Other issues related to law enforcement were also discussed.

“We are serving attentively, alert and we are saying no to indifference. Let’s get to work my dear partners,” he said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
