Hayakve: Instead of the police, an organized criminal group has started operating in Armenia

The Hayakve civil initiative strongly condemns the disproportionate brute force used against unarmed protesters yesterday at the Baghramyan-Demirchyan intersection, including the use of special measures, as a result of which dozens of people were injured and even mutilated, Hayakve said in a statement.

“We particularly condemn the inhumane torture of our colleague Abraham Gasparyan and demand that the culprits be found out and punished.

Police Chief Aram Hovhannisyan deserves special condemnation as the person who led the atrocities against people on the spot. Criminal proceedings must inevitably be brought against him as well.

After all, Nikol Pashinyan, who is politically responsible for police atrocities and encouraged them from the National Assembly, should resign and be held liable.

Hayakve civil initiative,” reads the statement.
