Armenia’s National Security Service continues to provide information about the situation created as a result of an armed attack on a patrol service police building which was seized on the morning of July 17 by a group calling itself Sasna Dzrer (Daredevils of Sasoun). “Currently, representatives of law enforcement agencies continue intensive negotiations with members of the armed group in order to arrange their surrender and release of hostages. We do not have any plans to use force against the hostage takers. The law enforcement agencies are doing everything possible to resolve the crisis without bloodshed and have sufficient means and potential to carry out their tasks,” the NSS said in a statement. At the same time, the NSS urges everyone not to interfere in matters that are exclusively in the domain of competent authorities and refrain from hindering the proper and efficient implementation of their operations, thereby contributing to achievement of the desirable outcome.
