“The fact that Armenia’s political field was desolated, that no oppositional political power was left in Armenia, seems to be obvious to everyone.

The Deputy Police Chief called on to follow official newsfeed, “For instance, it’s being touched upon on taking the airports, however, it’s not true, what occurred and is still ongoing is developing inside the Patrol-Guard Service Regiment building.

Armenian police and law enforcement system have necessary means to neutralize the group that has taken hostages in the building of the Patrol Police in Yerevan, the Deputy head of the Armenian Police Hunan Poghosyan told the journalists.

Meanwhile, the National Security Service calls on the mass media to use the information from official sources, as in case of the contrary that would assist the illegal actions and would pose threat for people’s life and health”.
The head of the Public Council of Armenia Vazgen Manukyan considers unacceptable the attempts to solve any issues with illegal actions. In a conversation with “Armenpress” Manukyan commented on the hostage situation in Yerevan. “Solving problems with illegal actions is unacceptable, I’m not a supporter of these kind of actions. They only harm Armenia. There are other way to resolve issues,” Manukyan said.
