OPPOSITION MEMBER SAYS POLICE ARE NOT GUILTY
Gagik Kostandyan, vice chairman of National Unity,
said the police are not guilty that the `trend of
criminalism’ goes up in the country. Kostandyan said
so at a press conference on rising trends of
criminalism.
He said a mid level police officer gets 77,000
Armenian drams. He is provided no car and petroleum,
Kostandyan said suggesting to raise the salary of the
police as well as to introduce new technologies in the
system.
Kostandyan also recalled tax and customs officials who
get 200,000 drams but sit in their offices and do
nothing. `I do not say that if salaries are raised,
corruption will be eliminated but it will be reduced,’
he said. /Panorama.am/
