The solemn session dedicated to the 97th anniversary of the system took place on May 16 instead of April 16.
The policemen celebrated their professional day with a little delay this year. The solemn session dedicated to the 97th anniversary of the system took place on May 16 instead of April 16.
The celebration was at the same time as the most intensive stage of the events of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide. As the policemen were overburdened during those days it was impossible to celebrate the day.
President Sargsyan participated in the solemn session and congratulated the policemen on their professional day. The President also gave prizes and titles. The head of the Department for Combating Organized Crime Rafael Zakaryan and the head of Yerevan police Ashot Karapetyan received the title of Major-General. Eight others received state awards.
