YEREVAN. – Armenia’s President, Serzh Sargsyan, on Tuesday issued a congratulatory address in connection with Police Day.  

“Distinguished members and veterans of the Police Force:

I congratulate you on the occasion of Police Day.

It is apparent that the reforms, which were implemented in recent years in the police system, have yielded positive results. Today, the protection of the rights and property of the citizens—specifically, of the public order—are elevated to a more secure level. It is a fact and this achievement results from the activities carried out by you.

Technical re-equipment of the Armenian Police, the improved work style as well as the steep rise of professionalism, which used to be just good wishes, today have become a reality for the most part. Although there is still much to be done, it is indisputable that the reputation of the policeman—and of the Police as a state structure in general—has increased in the eyes of the public. Rest assured that the people and the authorities follow your activities with attention, gratitude but, also, with criticism.

I again congratulate you on your professional holiday. I wish you good health, family happiness, and safe service for the glory of the Republic of Armenia,” President Sargsyan’s message reads.
