Some Generals and Colonels of the Police Have Issued a Statement

Call to the Police of the Republic of Armenia.

Dear police officers,

Dear friends and comrades,

Brothers and sisters,

At this critical moment, we appeal to you as senior comrades who have been, are, and will be by your side in all times.

We have fought together against the enemy, confronted criminals, ensured public peace, not sparing our health and even our lives. Our motto has always been ‘we serve the law,’ and today our call, plea, and demand from you is one: act solely in accordance with the letter of the law, exclusively within the scope of your functional duties, not executing illegal orders and directives, and not becoming a blind executor and tool.

Be steadfast and brave, so as to be worthy of the memory of your fallen comrades. The police have always been the cream of society; thus, every correct step we take will be highly appreciated by the people...

Remember the heroic deeds of our glorious ancestors, the blood shed by elder brothers and comrades for the security of our Homeland...

Act according to the call of your conscience and heart, with clean hands and a sober mind. God protect you...

Sincerely, Former Members of the Police Collegium and High-Ranking Officers
