“We believe that all complaints should be settled in courts, peacefully,” in the interview with journalists referring to the arrest of Samvel Babayan said the head of EU delegation to Armenia Piotr Switalski.
He added that for the European Union question of preventing the violence is very important: “We believe that premiere responsibility for preventing violence, for reacting to the possible disturbance of the public peace lies with the law enforcement authorities. And therefore all these procedures should be very transparent if there is a suspicion that something wrong is being prepared or is happening. We believe the law enforcement authorities should act in full transparency, so that the population, the voters have the confidence that it is not done for the political purposes, that it is not done to intimidate the other voters but it is done accordance with the rule of law.”
