And since Armenia’s Police Chief Vladimir Gasparyan has promised to cleanse the country from bodyguards, the police publicly stopped the automobiles and took the bodyguards to the police station to warn them to no longer work as arbitrary bodyguards.      

Incidentally, according to our information, Jndi was told several months ago that [President] Serzh Sargsyan has instructed to get rid of the bodyguards, but the criminal authority did not heed [this],” Zhoghovurd writes.
