Norik Sargsyan to become Chief of Traffic Police?
"I know nothing about it but every person has aspirations. We are at work and if I am ordered to serve in the region of Amasia, I shall do it," head of the traffic patrol service of the RA road police Norik Sargsyan said in response to a journalist's question about his alleged appointment as chief of the RA Traffic Police after the resignation of Margar Ohanian.
Ohanian was detained on August 30 for abuse of power and gross embezzlement.
