Premier commented on his statement about responsibility for Armenians

PanARMENIAN.Net - During the NA Government hour, Heritage faction MP Zaruhi Postanjyan asked Premier Tigran Sargsyan about the incident with police during the protest in front of Government building and Presidential residence and demanded explanation to his statement about responsibility for 3 million Armenians living in Armenia. She also showed torn posters and asked what measures authorities were going to take in that direction.



Prime Minister noted that his words were distorted and cut from his speech context. "What I said was this: we are certainly responsible for the 3 million Armenians living in Armenia because these people form Parliament and Government and elect President. We also bear responsibility for entire Armenian world and are concerned by their problems."



Commenting on police operations, Mr. Sargsyan said that Justice Ministry is currently studying the circumstances of incident, and if law enforcers are found guilty of breaching the law, they will be held accountable.
