At the government meeting, Nikol Pashinyan noted that regardless of everything, it is important to have a standard for the use of police force within the framework of police reforms.
"There were many cases when the police used force against me personally, but after becoming the prime minister, I did not even inquire whether those policemen continue to serve," he said.
According to Nikol Pashinyan, in many cases the policemen do not understand the statements of the demonstrators that they used force against them, because the policeman thinks that he has done his job.
"While studying this issue, we understand that there is no standard for the use of force in our country," said Pashinyan, and assuming that other countries have such standards and they are needed, because the police often target individuals, he added.
"Whenever an incident happens, we want to understand the reason for it. It turns out that a police officer was insulted, which in our reality is considered to desecrate the sanctity of a person, and in terms of social psychology, it is considered a legitimacy to do some action. for," said Pashinyan.
