OSCE Minsk Group co-chairman Matthew Brayza is leaving for Armenia on
July 29. He will meet with the leadership and diplomats of Armenia on
NK conflict settlement theme. But according to lragir.am, our public
organizations also want to meet M. Brayza on domestic
issues. According to that same source, those PO-s are going to hold a
meeting on the day of Brayza's visit. `PO-s want
to remind the American diplomat those declarations which the American
officials have often made that the problem of constituting democracy
and lawfulness is the problem of the public. PO-s tries to express
public position on democratic processes by holding meetings of
protest. The U.S., which speaks about importance of the public
position prefer to work with the representatives of administrative
criminal system instead of working with the public. PO-s intend to
show Brayza that the public has its clear position both in democratic
and legal issues', - Lragir.am informs.
Irrespective of the influence and number of public organizations, that
position causes a lot of questions. PO-s think that the Americans
right declaring that legality and democracy are the problem of our
society. If they aren't right, the PO-s should say whose problem it
is. Brayza's or U.S, Department of State? How does the PO-s imagine
U.S. state officials' work with the public? Whom do they mean, saying
public? And the most important: does the Armenian public have a clear
position in democratic and legal issues. I myself have doubts: it is
just the opposite, our public opinion is sure at least during last 30
days that those who don't steal and cheat, they are fool. But if I'm
wrong and our public can't live without democracy and legality, we
should show that position not to Brayza but to our authorities.
In this case the Americans will have to contact honest and generous
persons.
