DID THE POLICE WANT TO LEAVE A MEMORY TO SERGE SARGSYAN?

The police celebrated Serge Sargsyan's swearing-in anniversary in a
very special way, showing whom in reality Serge Sargsyan's government
gave the possibility of being the master of the situation. Two days
running, the police, led by unknown reasons, persecuted the
participants of the `political walks', who, as it is well known, are
supporters of the opposition and voice their complaints in this way.
Like every action of the Police, this one also arouses the question
whether the order to impede the walks came from the presidential
office, from the National Assembly, or maybe from the government, or
it was the initiative of the police. The police probablly thought that
revoking Yerevan centre of the pas year might be a good present for
Serge Sargsyan in connection with the anniversary of his inauguration
when only Serge Sargsyan and the leadership were at the centre who had
come to the Opera House to congratulate him.
However, if the problem were such kind of a present, the Police would
probably cover the hole in the Opera Square with a plank, bring back
the statues of Tumanyan and Spendaryan for a couple of hours and would
inform Serge Sargsyan that he could come there and remember. It is not
known what was reported to Serge Sargsyan this time. But it is
interesting how the police explained to Serge Sargsyan the repression
against the peaceful walkers at the centre of Yerevan on the
anniversary and on the eve.
Possibly, however, Serge Sargsyan explained to the policemen the
reason they should do that, that is the reason why they should impede
the walks. Serge Sargsyan and the police probably misunderstood each
other, and once the government starts not understanding something, it
gives way to violence, at least for a little intimidation.
However, this does not mean that they launch repressions without
awareness. Of course they do not. They do something because they do
not understand something but they understand what they do. In order to
understand this people do not need to walk, they need to stay at home
and watch TV, and see the marvellous progress the country has had
during Serge Sargsyan's office. But they go out instead and walk with
some political aims and impede the government to carry out their
solemn mission of cleaning the city.
