"In recent months, serious internal tensions and dissatisfactions have been observed in the police system. The point is that the Minister of Internal Affairs, Arpine Sargsyan, who is responsible for developing the policy of the system, has theoretical knowledge, and sometimes he simply does not understand practical police officers, and theory and practice collide in the system. The minister is knowledgeable, well-read, he knows the theory well, but the police officers are not able to implement the theories he imagined in practical life.
According to the reliable sources of "Zhoghovurd" daily, a number of high-ranking officers are saying that the situation in the system is unbearable and they cannot work. they are dissatisfied with both the working conditions and the politicized and ineffective nature of their work. According to the same sources, police officers are often forced to act not based on their professional duties, but on the basis of political authority, in particular Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's public statements, posts made on social networks, or even sent instructional messages.
"We are doing everything to fulfill the orders from above, to fight against crime, but as a result, neither the government nor the society is satisfied," high-ranking representatives of the police state in private conversations with "Zhoghovurd".
At the same time, the official statistics also prove that the situation in the system has no tendency to improve. According to the data published by the National Statistical Committee, during the period 2018-2024, the total number of crimes increased by about 63 percent, and crimes against people by 50 percent. According to experts, this is a serious impulse. the law enforcement system faces deep problems of management and efficiency.
According to our information, some high-ranking officials of the police are considering the option of leaving the system under such circumstances. "Many people are no longer able to work complacently, because they feel that the result does not justify the efforts," the source of "Zhoghovurd" daily reports.
