YEREVAN. – Armenian President and Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) leader Serzh Sargsyan was celebrating, at an Etchmiadzin
City restaurant on Friday, the RPA’s victory achieved in the May 6
parliamentary elections, Hraparak daily writes.

“[But] While President Sargsyan was celebrating the Party’s triumph
together with his party members, dozens of Road Police [RP] officers
were terrorizing Armenia’s non-Republican citizens.

Over a dozen RP cars were patrolling the Yerevan-Etchmiadzin Highway
while President Sargsyan was in Etchmiadzin.

But they were not only patrolling the road, [but also] terrorizing
the drivers who were unlucky enough to pass through this road. Pulling
someone over three-four times within ten minutes and accusing him of
violating the traffic rules cannot be considered conformity with the
law,” Hraparak writes.
