STATE CRIME COMMITTED UNDER THE SLOGAN OF "BAD FAVORS"

While NKR President Arkady Ghukasyan has left the country again to
raise money for Nagorno Karabakh from the Diaspora, his adviser Arman
Melikyan stated that everyone who does not believe Ghukasyan and is
skeptical about his statement that he will not run a third term is
mistaken. Melikyan assured that Ghukasyan honors principles and laws,
and if he said something, he knew what he was doing.
However, the adviser failed to explain why this statement of the
president was not respected by his aides who went on more energetically
to provide the necessary conditions for the president to run a third
term. He did not explain why on November 1 the parliament majority,
silently like in a crucial plot, under the keen surveillance of
Attorney General Armen Zalinyan and with the backstage direction of
Speaker Ashot Ghulyan, voted during a record short meeting for the
final draft of the NKR Constitution.
In addition, the final draft was kept secret for the "defiant" members
of parliament not to demand again clarifying the point which had
enabled the Attorney General to manipulate the possibility of Arkady
Ghukasyan to run a third term. In other words, people knew what they
are doing and they did everything to prevent anyone from foiling their
"cause".
We will not speak about General Isagulov, the politician, because the
adviser did not have any official information about the initiative
of the latter. He did not have information but he knew who did "bad
favors" to the president. He also knows that there are more of them
than they thought. Perhaps, they have not had an opportunity yet to
do a favor.
An interesting picture is outlining which is not new, however. It
is not the first time in Armenia and Karabakh when high-ranking
officials condemn such things as corruption, electoral fraud, while
their "brothers-in-arms" are busy doing the contrary, proving to the
society that the word of the leaders is not a decree yet. And then
other brothers-in-arms appear who say it was not the boss, the boss was
good; these are the people who do not want it to be good for all of us.
So, now the "good boss" has perhaps advised his adviser from a far
away place to calm everyone who worry that in Ghukasyan's absence
his team carries on the policy of "bad favors". Perhaps the boss
worries in a far place that they will not raise any money with this
fuss going on. For they need the money, and it is not important that
the adviser has to lie to the public once again. The advisers can be
appointed to other positions, far from curious eyes.
This would be funny if this were not dangerous. It appears that
the practice of our leadership to plan and commit state crimes is
upgraded to the level of a state policy, which worries the Armenian
society. It appears that the cynicism of the high-ranking officials
goes beyond appropriateness. By condemning their own plans and denying
them publicly they have mastered the methods of forcing government
officials to implement their secret decrees. And those who somehow
appeared in government agencies and, therefore, are up for every task
away from the eye of the public to stay in their offices are found
everywhere. It is only necessary to guarantee protection from the
law and ascribe everything to "bad favors".
However, the bosses and people fond of such actions should remember
how the wily old fox gots caught, and in this case no favor is be
helpful. Otherwise, these people are the first to shout "it wasn't me"
and fall to the feet of the new bosses. Although, advice and fables
never teach anything here. Or they teach when it is too late.
