AGAINST DISINFORMATION

On November 7 the "Haykakan Zhamanak" daily published an interview with Nikol Pashinyan in which the MP states that Chief and First Deputy Chief of Armenian Police had allegedly used violence against Shant Harutyunyan at Central police division earlier on November 5 – an unsubstantiated statement made in a traditional style of blackmail and provocation which is so familiar to our society. 
Late in the evening of November 5 there were approximately 4 scores of detainees half of which were released and they all assured that no one either used violence against them or exerted any pressure on them.
Hundred of people had gathered there in the police station and outdoors, including police officers, relatives of the detainees. MPs, journalists, and how did it come that nobody saw, none of them heard and no one responded to the alleged case of violence? Or how does the mentioned MP imagine Police chief performing such a deed at all?
Moreover, groups of social observers of Places of detention and representatives of Human Rights Defender paid a visit to the detainees. Human Rights Defender’s observation group made no statement in connection with the alleged use of violence against the detainees, and head of the group of social observers of Places of Denetion Suren Iskandaryan gave an interview to the “Hraparak” newspaper in which he said the following «We met with all the 20 detainees and talked to each of them. None of them had any concrete complaints about the Police station or Place of detention. They assured that no one eserted pressure on them; I can say it with one hundred percent certainty. We, as Human Rights Advocates, tried to understand what had happened in fact and the detainees told that though they had been detained, neither anyone showed bad attitude towards them nor they suffered any injuries». Suren Iskandaryan also added that he had spoken to Shant Harutyunyan, too, and the latter also had no complaints.
So what, it so happened that neither the Human Rights Advocates, nor the detainees, nor anyone has any complaints except Nikol Pashinyan, who visited the Place of detention and became the only person whom Shant Harutyunyan “confessed” the “violence” case.
Police of The Republic of Armenia have proved over and over again that they don't carry out provocations but detect them and our society can perfectly identify both the provocators and The Police.
Anyway, it's inappropriate to resort to using methods which are doomed to failure and it is not the 1^st time we have kindly asked the abovementioned newspaper’s editorial staff not to mislead its readers.
Police are determined to establish authenticity of this statement.
