"Despite the fact that due to the 44-day war of 2020 and ensuing problems there is a certain tension in the public life of the republic, we must overcome all of them, and not only take the level of public security of pre-war Artsakh as a benchmark, but to surpass it. We can set such a task and achieve its solution as there are all the necessary preconditions for that - public demand, state will, commitment and unity of the law enforcement system," President Harutyunyan said.
During the consultation, the law enforcement officials delivered reports on the crimes registered and preventive work carried out in the republic within the recent 5 months and discussed a number of other issues on the agenda.

5. Take all the tools of administrative responsibility, without exception, to bring to justice those who have committed administrative offenses, naturally, taking into cosideration the principles of justice and humanity.
6. Along with the exercise of powers to combat crime, constantly work to identify and dismiss persons in their own ranks, who undermine the authority of the state system and display behavior extrinsic to the police officer and state servant, as well as conduct courses on ethics, proper speech, and etiquette, especially with people who are in constant contact with the public.
7. During the exercise of powers, always remain within the framework of the rule of law, strictly observe human rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution, properly respond to any signals of violation of human rights from the Artsakh Republic Human Rights Defender.
