“Sasna Tsrer” mercenaries need to be wiped out.
Wow… What kind of a highly trained, professional sniper the armed gunmen have in their midst, who was able to hit the target sitting in a police car from a surrounded compound 1,000 feet away… Unbelievable.
It’s almost like some Armenians want to turn the Republic into Ukraine 2.0. They are causing violence in order to give other countries an excuse for a foreign intervention.
Horrifying. Shame on them for killing the young police officer. They have brought upon themselves whatever is coming their way. I just hope no more police officers lose their lives cleaning out this group of scum.
