President hails NSS actions in neutralizing armed gang in YerevanDecember 3, 2015 - 14:38 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The November 25 neutralization of an armed gang in Yerevan was performed at a high level from the moment the National Security Service started tracking those people to its completion, Armenian President said. As Serzh Sargsyan noted an interview with various TV channels, “we should be grateful to the NSS and the police for preventing the disaster.” “If we could thwart more such crimes, the world would now be a safer place to live,” he said. “Generally, preventive actions aren’t much appreciated around the globe, and in Armenia, particularly.” According to the President, those trying to discredit the actions of the National Security Service, are the same people who'd be happy to see the gang succeed in committing another October 27 attack [Armenian parliament shooting] in Yerevan.
