With regard to the shooting in one of the streets in Yerevan and the woman killed by a stray bullet Ararat Zurabyan, All-Armenian Movement leader, said first the head of fish decays. According to him, in a tiny country like Armenia the head of the police knows everyone's habits. However, "the situation does not allow him to change anything." This situation is, according to the AAM, the consequence of the atmosphere in the political, economic and all the other spheres. "One cannot feel safe even at daytime because one may encounter an incident despite everything," says Ararat Zurabyan.

Giving his condolences to the family of the killed woman, Ararat Zurabyan notes that in a normal country and society there would be resignations, visits to the family of the victim, words of comfort, lending a hand. It is not so here. There are not even condolences.

Ararat Zurabyan says gangs have emerged in Armenia, who have no restrictions. "Considering the passivity of the relevant agencies, the Police, etc., an uncontrollable situation has occurred. I would not like to draw parallels, but people say, this country needs Vano, and the situation is unbearable," reports Ararat Zurabyan and reminds about the time, when Vano Siradeghyan was the minister of internal affairs. "There was shooting, cars were stolen, it was terrible, the police were afraid to go out to the street, nobody was insured. Siradeghyan managed to establish order in a very short period of time," reminds Ararat Zurabyan. According to Ararat Zurabyan, a member of the same party as Vano Siradeghyan, quick establishment of public order did not involve 100 percent compliance with the laws, but, "I can state for sure that the laws are not observed by 100 percent in any country. But we managed to establish law and order. There were no criminal strongmen in Yerevan, they were in prison on outside Armenia. Children wanted to be policemen, not a strongman or bodyguard," says the leader of the All-Armenian Movement. "The government would no way have relations with a criminal. Nobody can say that the minister of internal affairs Vano Siradeghyan dined with criminal strongmen," states Ararat Zurabyan and reports the current situation. "We have witnessed and read in the press for a number of times, that Serge Sargsyan, or someone else dined together, greeted or saw away," says Ararat Zurabyan. And for a general comparison of the AAM and the present government, he proposes to compare the past and the present parliaments.
