It is possible to prevent the loss of the rest of the homeland; nothing is impossible. Valeri Osipyan, Former Chief of Police of Armenia, told reporters this Monday at Freedom Square in downtown Yerevan.

"We well remember how these authorities came to power in 2018; so, nothing is impossible and nothing is lost," he said.

Referring to PM Nikol Pashinyan's statement that the Armenian side could have prevented the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war in the fall of 2020 and the situation would have been the same, but without the casualties, and asked whether such a statement should have been followed by a legal process, Osipyan said: "A serious approach is already needed here, lawyers must realize that, including parents who have lost a [soldier] child should take this into account about future legal steps.”

Speaking about the use of force by the police against the protesters at Freedom Square Sunday and the restriction of free movement, the ex-Police chief said: "I consider it inadmissible to restrict the free movement of MPs, and citizens in general. I call on my former colleagues to be guided only by the law, and to keep in mind that those who carry out wrong orders will answer [for it] sooner or later.”

As for his formerly joining the team that came to power in 2018, Valeri Osipyan said: "Everyone has the right to make mistakes; maybe I made a mistake, too."
