    MONEY AS THE END AND MEANS
    Aram Abrahamian

    Armenian politicized circles discuss two themes today" the growth
    of violence and the coming parliamentary elections. It seems, nobody
    denies the ties between those two themes. The parliament itself has no
    authority in Armenia: it isn't a legislative body and is nothing as a
    state institution. In that case you'll ask why the whole criminal world
    directly or indirectly participate in the electoral processes. Just
    for the above-mentioned reason: legislative activities and state
    institutions are as far from them as Schubert's symphonies. The only
    sacred thing for the representatives of our criminal is the MONEY;
    they make great efforts to have it more.

    As money is the end in this Â"pre-electoral fightÂ", so money and
    power must be the means, and now money and power are accumulated
    and assigned before " decisive battles". As it is known money is
    used to give electoral bribes, as for power, it is necessary for
    administrative levers and own interests. Is it possible for different
    "power centers" not to have discrepancies, the part of which can be
    solved by shoots and blasts? Is it possible for media, which detects
    all those mechanisms not to be oppressed?

    In time, when Â"October 27Â" happened, there were people who were
    saying that Karen Demirchian and Vazgen Sargsian wanted to fight
    against corruption, but terrorism prevented that fight. I consider
    such explanation as a Â"black humor" . The services of those state
    men towards the Homeland are enormous but why should we ascribe
    their intentions, which they have never had to them. Now the official
    explanation of Shahen Hovasapian's murder is that he wanted to collect
    taxes fairly but the taxpayers persisted by terrorism. Mr. Hovasapian
    also had great merits but that version will lead the investigation
    by a wrong direction.
