The US condemns use of violence to effect political change in Armenia

“We offer our thoughts and prayers to the families of the police officers who were killed or injured during – I think the incident took place Sunday in Yerevan’s Erebuni district,” Deputy Spokesman for the US Department of State Mark Toner told a daily briefing.

“We obviously condemn strongly the use of violence to effect political change in Armenia or anywhere,” he said.

“We encourage Armenian authorities to handle the situation with appropriate restraint, but again, our condolences go out to those police officers who lost their lives in the attack,” the Deputy Spokesman said.

“Situations are complex in many parts of the world, but I think it’s a pretty common dictate of ours to say that there’s no military solution to any crises, political or otherwise,” Marc Toner said.
