    Police dismisses publication by Haykakan Zhamanak

    13:01 - 02.04.11


    The press office of Armenia's police issued a statement on Saturday,
    dismissing reports that claimed the salaries in the police have been
    paid belatedly in the recent three months.

    `No cases of belated payment of salaries have been occurred in the
    police of RA [Republic of Armenia], not only during the recent three
    months but during the recent three years,' read the statement.

    It comes after Armenian daily Haykakan Zhamanak published an article
    on Saturday in which it said that low-rank police officers are
    resentful as their salaries are being paid belatedly, while the police
    has started what it called a `campaign,' demanding those police
    officers to write letters of resignation.

    `Due to increased prices the police officers, much in the same way as
    other private citizens, are unable to overcome their social problems.
    Besides, during the recent three months they started to pay the
    salaries of the police officers belatedly,' read the article.

    `On the other hand, the police officers are being forced to terrorize
    citizens so that they don't attend the demonstrations by the Armenian
    National Congress,' it added.

    In the statement the police also said it could not see any logic
    between the social problems mentioned in the article and the
    `campaign' of forcing police officers to resign.

    `As what concerns the strange campaign of collecting resignation
    letters, which is also made up, then it is only the `sources' of the
    paper that are aware of that logic,' read the statement.
