YEREVAN. – Body-guards should only be police employees and should be hired only in police, Armenia’s deputy Chief of Police Hovhannes Hunanyan told the journalists on Friday.

Answering to the question on beaten military doctors by the ruling Republican Party of Armenia MP and head of the Armenian Football Federation Ruben Hayrapetyan’s bodyguards, Hunanyan said that the investigation is underway and all should be responsible for it as intentional crime is committed.
