ALERT WATCH OF PUBLIC ORDER

After the epic battle of Tetsi Krug in Yerevan everybody believes
that the society is regularly going to witness criminal skirmishes,
for the criminals were not punished. If a criminal is dismissed,
crime is automatically encouraged. And it reoccurs with some delay
to express itself more brazenly than before. The June 22 incident
proved this. If in Tetsi Krug the criminals nevertheless avoided
battle in broad daylight (although they may also have taken into
consideration tactical problems), Malatia was a "daytime show,"
let's wait for the dawn.
Most probably, we will not have to wait long. Very soon the government
will encourage the valiant soldiers of Malatia in court.
After all, they have to show that intellect is not the only power of
the government. Intellect was useful in Torino, whereas in Yerevan they
need a "mauzer" not to let the people, excited about chess, think that
the ruling elite became intellectual. A long pause between gunshots can
shatter the government because dictatorship fears civilization. This
fear helps the police disperse peaceful protestors in a couple of
seconds, whereas they miss the raging criminal. And it would be too
ingenuous to think that the guilty will be punished this time. There
will not be such a thing, especially on the eve of elections. The
government will not break up with the criminal because very soon the
government will need it. And who knows, maybe it was the order of
the government to start exercising, and we should even be grateful
that they at least shoot one another.
However, passers-by suffer too. In other words, the public is already
in danger. It means that the law enforcement agencies fail. And
it is strange that on their professional day Robert Kocharyan
awarded law-enforcers with different awards and medals. As they
say, for good work. The job of a law enforcers is to guarantee the
security of the citizens. If the life of citizens is in danger, as
we become convinced every 6 months, so for what good work does the
president award the Police, the National Security Service and other
law enforcement agencies? What do they rely on to announce that the
Police succeed in maintaining public order? Maybe they really succeed,
whereas what happens outside the public order is not the business
of the Police. They are not awarded for this. They are awarded for
not interfering.
