YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. "The murder of the deputy
head of the police Gevorg Mherian proves once again that
Armenia's law enforcement system does not carry out satisfactory
work - within the framework of professional powers reserved for
it by law, and at the moment we all are vulnerable", the head of
"Heritage" parliamentary faction Armen Martirosian said at the
February 6 briefing, noting that the incident is blameworthy and
regrettable. "The law enforcement system is more engaged in
intervention in political processes and convincing people not to
participate in meetings," he said.
The secretary of the faction Larisa Aleverdian expressed an
opinion that as long as those who ordered the crimes committed
so far, including the March 1 killings, are not revealed, "we
all are in a very difficult situation as the killers are still
at large".
The representative of "Heritage" Vardan Khachatrian said:
"In connection with Mherian's murder, we have establsihed
another circumstance: the idea that problems are solved here by
means of bullets and blood is becoming more and more embedded in
public opinion, which, perhaps, is the most undesirable
phenomenon".
