It is 5 years already that Armenia is celebrating Police Day on April
16. On this occasion, the parade was accepted today by President
Robert Kocharyan. The President congratulated the employees of the
system and veterans.

`The Police is one of the most essential state structures, which
carries out its duty with honor,’ the President said. He noted that
the Police should be able to respond to the process of corresponding
development of the society and its possible negative expressions.

In President Kocharyan’s word it is necessary to pay special attention
to the Police, to arm it with modern armaments, improve the
professional capacity of the Staff.

`We should strengthen the primary directions. Special attention shold
be paid to the improvement of the spheres, which immediately have to
do with citizens. During the Artsakhi war the employees of the
Armenian Police demonstrated great dignity in keeping the country’s
borders secure. Today we must remember those, who fell on the field of
war. The development of our country is greatly conditioned by the
quality of your work,’ The President said in his congratulating
