The Chief of Police of Armenia, Valery Osipyan, during a ceremony for awards on the Constitution Day spoke with journalists about receiving the rank of general and the increase in responsibility.

In response to a question regarding whether it was easy for him to obtain this rank, as others take years to achieve it, Osipyan said, “I have been a colonel for about 10 years, the assessment... If you think so, I will not evaluate my work; society and my colleagues will provide a better assessment.”

Referring to the murder of Andranik Harutyunyan (Massivtsi Andik), a so-called thief in law, in Nor Nork a few days ago, the police chief mentioned that all operational measures related to the case are being carried out in cooperation with other units.
