He promised to deal with all cases of violence and abuse of authority by the security forces.
“There was an escalation on both sides”, – the minister said.
“When they knock down their guys, composure begins to change. This is very bad, I am against it. It doesn’t have to be that way. We will deal with all cases. Not now, but when everything subsides”.
