I urge NSS, police to implement spot-checks, disarm so-called bodyguards of oligarchs and top officials: Pashinyan

“Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, you decided to challenge people of Armenia, so see the challenge,” PM Nikol Pashinyan said at today’s Yerevan City Council campaign in Davitashen district, reflecting to today’s top theme.

“I want to say unequivocally and explicitly that this is conspiracy, crime against Armenia’s statehood. I also assigned NSS, the police to uncover authors of the conspiracy and subject them to the strictest responsibility. When I used to be editor-in-chief of “Armenian times” daily, I published news that based on information at our disposal people linked to some oligarchs and high-ranking officials have bought eavesdropping devices by money grasped from the people, and basically created special services within the state in parallel with special state services.

And I state with responsibility—all those “special services”, illegally armed groups in the form of skinheads and bodyguards will be uncovered and destroyed. All illegally armed groups will be disarmed and from here, I instruct the NSS, the police to implement spot-checks, lay the so-called bodyguards of oligarchs and top officials to the ground and unarm them all. Misters Artur Vantesyan and Valeri Osipyan, I’m going to listen to your reports on the work done,” Pashinyan said. “Time of thieves has passed in Armenia, let him be from the USA, Russia or Australia, we’ll find him, return every stolen penny. All those confusing our revolution of love and tolerance with weakness, will feel people’s powerful rebuff today,” he added.
