DON'T PRESS YOUR "DEMOCRACY" ON US

According to the statements of international organizations the
authorities in Armenia might have had a milder treatment to the
"peaceful protesters" armed with iron stick and avoided using "great
force" against them. Are such statements an adequate response to
what happened?
Answering this question of the correspondent of "Hayots Ashkharh",
AHARON ADIBEKYAN yesterday mentioned,
"Perhaps it was possible, if he were more sacred than the Pope and
guided himself with the Christ's precept saying, 'when you receive
a slap on the cheek, turn round your head to receive a slap on the
other cheek too'. The Europeans had better think about Belfast. They'd
better think about Spain where people die every week as a result
of explosions.
They'd better think about Belgium which is facing serious civil
clashes.
Hence, they'd better avoid pressing their "democracy models"
on Armenia.
There is such a concept in chess: a situation of forcible steps. We
are now in that situation, and the authorities, in their own honor,
managed to overcome the potentially explosive situation with minimum
losses and relatively small number of victims.
