On September 6 the head of the bureau of the Heritage Party Vardan
Khachatryan and the founder of the political party Raffi Hovannisian
gave their evaluation of the assassination of a senior official of
the Tax Agency and the attack on the journalist on the same day.
"This reflects the sickness of our society, our government, our
state. We can speak about the phenomena, the necessity to change
the system, argue about national transformation, for weeks on,
for months on, at every news conference, argue about choosing the
right way, evolution or revolution. However, as long as the arrows of
responsibility are not pointed in any direction, as long as the law
is not applied equally, from the president to the ordinary citizen,
as long as there is an army of the privileged, and as long as the
privileged are connected with this government, as long as force,
weapon and money are with one circle and they use the law to keep
this force and money, it will go on like this. But this is not the
way it should be. I think, on the eve of the 15th anniversary of
independence of the Republic of Armenia this reveals the immense work
that our generation needs to carry out to maintain the rule of law
in Armenia," thinks Raffi Hovannisian.
The head of the bureau of the Heritage Party Vardan Khachatryan thinks
that the violence we witness is extremely harmful for the country and
the society because the opinion is gradually becoming established in
the public consciousness that problems are settled by killings. "This
is a dangerous phenomenon and may lead to unpredictable consequences,"
Vardan Khachatryan says. He says that most of his students witnessed
the explosion of the car of Shahen Hovasapyan, the head of the
Department of Investigations of the Tax Agency, and were so shocked
that they could hardly tell what they had seen.
