Speaking about the resignation of head of the Passport and Visa Department of the Police Norayr Muradkhanyan, Gasparyan said he has been sent to the staff reserve. "This man has not gone for vacation for 17 years. After resting for a few months, Mr Muradkhanyan will be appointed to a new position," he said.

In connection with it, Vladimir Gasparyan noted that it is the opinion of Alik Sargsyan and his [Vladimir Gasparyan's] opinion corresponds to the law.
