Zhoghovurd: Citizens unhappy with SPS employees
"Zhoghovurd" has received phone calls from a number of citizens who said that employees of the State Protection Service (SPS) have recently pulled over drivers in Yerevan without any reason and entered into an argument with them. SPS employees are notable for their rude behavior. When drivers ask SPS employees to indicate their violations, the employees say they are not obliged to give any explanations, after which traffic policemen are invited to the scene and drivers are fined.
In this connection the chief of Traffic Police Arsen Arshakian told "Zhoghovurd": "In addition to doing our main work as traffic policemen, we have to respond to any obvious violation. For example, if SPS employees notice a car parked on a pavement, in this case any employee of the police must react".
