Was crime really committed?

“There are numerous complaints from citizens. An action has been brought on the case. Yesterday’s events were an apparent violation of public order. They tried to exert their former methods and lead people to delusion. If they are editors-in-chief of newspapers or political actors this doesn’t give them grounds to act like hooligans,” yesterday Deputy Chief of Police Ararat Mahtesyan stated when answering the answers of journalists in the NA. He also added that there will be no more arrests connected with this case. He refused to concretely mention what exactly have the 11 detainees done that violated the public order. Among the detainees is editor-in-chief of “CHI” newspaper, Shogher Matevosyan. By the way the governmental parties called this “operation” as a careless act unlike Mahtesyan.
