Haik Sargsyan, analytical department head at the road police, said
drivers will be prohibited to smoke in cars in public transport and
that security belts will be required. Drivers will also be prohibited
to talk on phone while driving. However, he did not specify when these
requirements will be effective, saying he cannot say any deadlines
until the normative acts are approved.
Asked about the corruption in road police, Sargsyan said he does not
know any such case and "no road policeman has ever been dismissed
from work for such reason." Interestingly enough, Andranik Margaryan,
Armenia prime minister, was interviewed by Haikakan Jamanak newspaper
in which he said, "You may apply to the Road Police and learn that
hundreds of policemen have been dismissed because of corruption
on roads."
Obviously either road police official or the prime minister does not
tell the truth.
