“Another crime”
Statement by the Armenian National Congress
"This morning, while a group of youth HAK activists was holding an action at Charles Aznavour Square near the site where the "EU-Armenia Civil Society Seminar" was being held, several police officers attacked the youth for no reason and without any demand, applied force against them, ripped their signs, injured and arrested four of them. The journalists' cameras taped the police officers' illegal actions. The violence continued on the road to the police headquarters and at the site.
The fact that several police officers attack ten demonstrators goes to show that the bandits that came to power are seeking an opportunity to apply force on the one hand and trying to lead the events organized by the Congress to failure on the other hand with the purpose of suspending the irrevocable collapse inside government, particularly the law-enforcement bodies.
The Armenian National Congress announces that by continuing to play the role of the bandit regime's penalizing tool, the police have committed another crime for which they will be brought to justice. Despite these illegal actions, the Congress will continue its daily struggle against these bandit authorities and their vicious manners."
