YOUTH IS NOT LED WHERE IT SHOULD BE LED

The anti-criminal movement is gathering momentum in Armenia. It
appears that the government accused of usurpation of the government
system is seriously worried by the process underway in the country.
The public characterizes the action of the government as criminal. It
is impossible not to do anything. As it usually happens, corrupt
officials set up and head an anti-corruption agency to ensure their
safety in one way or another. So is now, the criminal in power decided
to take up the hard job of "battling the criminal". The wish to
distract the arrow and change the aim is great.
On September 7 a pro-government youth organization named "We" announced
at the Golden Palace Hotel, "the youth will be struggling against the
criminal", and did not forget to add, "the government is not criminal,
our government is legitimate". Lo and behold! This is worse than
the struggle of corrupt officials against corruption. Thus they can
also set up special criminal groups and direct the struggle into the
riverbed of criminal settling of accounts. In fact, the situation in
Armenia is getting graver.
It is quite clear what the criminals in power want. There is no
need to talk to them, for a long time now, it is simply necessary to
punish them. Otherwise, they will involve the country in a criminal
settling of accounts. We had better think about the youth. The youth
is not experienced, besides the problem of the criminalized country is
complicated, and there is always the danger to make the wrong choice.
For this reason, there is a wish to tell our young people that before
using the notion of criminal one needs to find out what it is.
Especially the criminal in power. And there is no need to invent
anything, for over a millennium people who reject the law of the state
are called criminals. People who live under their own laws and impose
their own laws on the other citizens by means of violence, coercion and
bribes. And they impose it to take away the rights of citizens and live
at their expense. The rest is criminal morality, illegality and the
corresponding notions are simply a form of existence of the criminal.
So, before declaring war against criminal notions and the criminal
itself our young people should look around attentively to see who
in our country, especially in the government, lives under their "own
law", disobeying the laws of the state. The young are sharp-eyed, they
will notice immediately and detect all the figures who have usurped
the will of power to form government for many years and turned power
into a mechanism of imposing their will and their "own law" on people.
At that time, it will be really possible to battle the criminal instead
of serving it willy-nilly. It would also be useful for mature figures
to understand what the criminal in power is. Otherwise, one sometimes
hears others say that a member of parliament is illiterate, so he is
a criminal. This approach enables the criminals in power to build a
fence around them and announce in surprise, "Where is criminal here? We
have never been to prison, there are no other facts, etc." Prove...
There is nothing to prove. The public can see who lives under their
"own" law and at the expense of the legal rights of others.
The public knows everyone in face. And the public is not likely to
prove anything to anyone. The problem of the public is to take the
criminal to the court. There the relevant agencies will prove in
accordance with the law. They will also prove how those people, whom
the state law empowered battling the criminal, tried to keep their
asses through the young. And the young should respect themselves,
in that case they would not cheat so easily.
