The legality of actions of the police officers who apprehended the citizen for not wearing mask will definitely be viewed, chief of Armenian police Arman Sargsyan told the reporters today, adding though that he considers them legal as their demand was just keeping the commandant’s rules.

“The citizen who rebels the coexistence rules and provokes police officers to be engaged in something, the police officers in this case are acting in a right way. If they apply same actions against a person who has not done anything, the police officer will be punished for humiliating a person. At the same time the police officers have an authority to use force by the law and where they find it necessary to use force they will use it,” the chief of the police said.
