Congratulatory Remarks by President Serzh Sargsyan on the occasion of Police Day

Esteem members of the Police Force,
I congratulate you on the occasion of Police Day.

I believe no one here doubts that I know all about your service, about its hardships and problems. The Armenian Police continues to walk the road of difficult reforms. I state with satisfaction that the results of the reformation are observable.

You’re halfway to get to your goal, if you have confidence that you will get there. I am starting to see more confidence in you regarding your own abilities; I see faith, and it is pleasing.

You are once again required to display absolute composure and restrain on one hand and resolve on the other hand. The Police professional should be able to clearly define that line which is not easy. I know that there are many professionals in your ranks and the number of professionals grows. I wish you success in this difficult endeavour.

Be assured that any positive change in your work, any new approach and a new line of conduct is observed and is duly assessed by your main addressee – the citizens of the Republic of Armenia. Become a modern police force and you will take pride in your own achievements. You possess a historic opportunity to fundamentally change the image of the police in the society, make sure you don’t loose that opportunity.

I once again congratulate you on the occasion of you professional holiday, and I wish you and your families good health and new achievements in your service.
