Acting Chief of Police Arman Sargsyan held talks with the person shooting at Erebuni Plaza today.

A video has been circulated of how a citizen who already handed over his arms is sitting in Arman Sargsyan’s service car without handcuffs.

Ashot Aharonyan, the head of the Public Relations Department of the Police, circulated the following statement:

“The negotiations have ended successfully. The shooter handed over his weapon, surrendered to law enforcement and was taken to police.

There was a video of him getting into a car on social networks, which was criticized by some users, in particular for questioning why the person was not in handcuffs.

Note that the recording of Arman Sargsyan’s talks has also been circulated on social networks; An agreement to hand over the weapon was also provided on the condition of not wearing handcuffs.

That is, not wearing handcuffs has been a condition of negotiation and an important component of neutralization.

We advise those who make judgments about the unimaginable to refrain from amateur commentary.
