Police Officer Forced Citizen to Buy Shoes Instead of Writing a Report

It turns out that today's police officers do not take bribes in cash hidden in documents, but rather accept them in new forms. “Numerous police officers have been caught taking money. I also have information that a police officer caught a citizen and said, ‘I won’t write a report against you, I saw a pair of shoes in this store, will you buy them for me?’ Oh Abuhasan! Is it Abuhasan’s shoe? The citizen bought the shoes, and the police officer did not write a report against him. Now let him go to the Vardashen colony, the militsiya colony, wear the shoes, feel like Aladdin, come out of the cell, run away and come back,” said photojournalist Gagik Shamshyan in an interview with Aravot.am.

It is worth noting that when the patrol service was introduced in Yerevan two years ago, they promised us a corruption-free, highly professional 'cinema heroes'. According to Shamshyan, the illegal actions and 'corruption' of some police officers tarnish the reputation of the entire patrol institute.
