In an interview to RFE/RL’s Armenian service US Ambassador Richard Mills called for a “full investigation” into Friday’s violence. He warned that Armenian law-enforcement officials responsible for human rights abuses could be sanctioned by the U.S. government.

“We have mechanisms in place to ensure that those who might have been involved or responsible for excessive violence last night, as determined by investigations and credible reports, are not allowed to participate in any U.S. government funding program or training,” the diplomat said. “And we will ensure that that happens'', RFE/RL's Yerevan Bureau quotes the Ambassador as saying.
