President Serzh Sargsyan issued a message on the occasion of the
Police Day.
"Dear employees of the Police and veterans,
I congratulate you on the occasion of the Police Day.
Over the past years the Armenian Police registered achievements in
the field of protection of the citizens’ rights, property, as well
as public order. On the whole, it fulfilled its important mission. A
huge work has been done in the direction of reforming this sphere,
but there are still serious things to be done to have the style of
work of the Police correspond to contemporary conditions and eliminate
the corruption phenomena.
The authorities of the Republic of Armenia will improve the
living conditions of the Police employees, including the raise of
salaries. Steps will be taken to modernize the working conditions,
including the technical rearmament, which will be targeted at raising
the effectiveness of the Police activity.
This year your professional day coincides with the 90th anniversary of
formation of the bodies of interior affairs structures in Armenia. I
want to specially congratulate all the veterans of the interior
affairs. I wish you robust health and happiness.
Armenia’s multifaceted and rapid development greatly depends on how
you will carry out your responsibilities and on what professional
level you will solve the tasks posed for you. It’s not a secret that
the actions of the Police meet a sharp public reaction. The events of
March 1 were a trial for the whole country and people, particularly
the Police. Together with the whole society, the Police should come
out of this trial with honor and draw lessons from it.
Once again congratulating you on your professional day, I wish you
success in the hard but honorable work of resisting the existing
challenges."
