On November 25 an armed group was neutralized by the SNS and the Police, which had an aim to commit a number of severe crimes across the territory of Armenia according to the SNS statement.
During a meeting with the journalists Mikayel Hambardzumyan, the deputy chief of the Investigation Department, said that investigation actions are held on daily basis: the discovery of the group was unique. “The group was financed with tens of thousands of dollars, the group members were given secret phone numbers, the existence of the group was found as a result of the SNS work, it was taken into control after appearing, and the actions were controlled. The special squd soldiers managed to attack within a few seconds and neutralize 10 group members”,- he said adding that the house had been turned into a barrack.
It seems funny to him to hear rumors that it was a performance and if these actions are connected with the political activities.” Our actions do not have a political context. The crime targets were chosen from the armed group. I will just mention that the actions were intended against the citizens, state figures, separate power branches and figures”.
He added that 21 persons are arrested.
