On these days, the president of Bolivia Morales accused the
Police and other law enforcement bodies of cooperation with the
U.S. Investigations Services.
Morales seems to be worth of applauses for being aware of what happens
in his government system but, when we go into details of the situation,
we realize that Morales, in fact, does not keep under control the
situation and his governmental system is overwhelmed with foreign
agents. However, in reality, everything is much clearer: Morales
makes such a statement to create an impression of an external enemy
for the society to think that the king tries his best to struggle
against foreign agents in order to save his country.
The action of the "Miasin" youth organization caused much response in
Armenia. The evaluations were different: from lauds up to complaints
and condemn. But everyone admits that there is a great amount of the
corruption in the Armenian educational system. From this point of you,
like in case of Morales, the Miasin seems to be absolutely right when
sticking in the streets pictures of corrupt professors. Of course,
after, not everyone was found out to be corrupt or some others were
not professors. But there is almost no doubt that, if it is needed,
the Miasin will be able to prove in court its innocenc e and its
being right. Not casually, the president Serge Sargsyan took part
in the celebration of the anniversary of that organization and,
strangely, the pictures appear on the street walls several days after
this celebration.
So, the heroes of the pictures should never think that the organizers
have no proof.
But the point is different. Sure, the authors of the action do not
have facts, but they are able to have them as soon as it is necessary,
because the relevant bodies would have already made steps in this
connection. After all, only one professor of the Yerevan State
University has been arrested so far, but this does not mean that
there are no grounds to arrest other professors. Merely, there is
no expediency for now. Now, it is enough to stick their pictures and
follow the professors' attitude. This does not surely mean that the
professors are forbidden to take bribes any more.
Probably, the professors are demanded to take bribes calmly and not
to get engaged in other things, especially in this chaotic times.
The rightness of the Miasin action seems logic and fair only at first
instant. In reality, this action is less logic than the statement of
Morales. The point is that the university system in Armenia is ruled
by the boards.
For example, the Board of Yerevan State University heads Serge
Sargsyan. Has anyone of the Miasin members ever asked what steps the
board headed by Serge Sargsyan made in the relation with corruption
at Yerevan State University?
Or, perhaps, they have asked, and only after organized their
action. Serge Sargsyan may have hinted them the names of corrupt
professors and may even have provided them with the pictures. Perhaps,
Serge Sargsyan admitted that though heading the State University
board for so many years he was not able to root out the corruption at
the university and turned to the youths of the Miasin for help. But,
in this case, it would be fair of Serge Sargsyan to rely on the law
enforcement bodies instead of Miasin, and to admit that he had asked
help from that organization, so the head of the State University
could not blame the members of the youth organization, but Serge
Sargsyan for giving them that idea. It would be honest too if Serge
Sargsyan decided to resign from State University Board Head Office
just because he has not been able to register a small progress in the
struggle against corruption during the years of heading the university
board. Miasin would be honest too if presented such a demand to Serge
Sargsyan. Otherwise, Morales seems to make a figure of a kind king
at the background of the law enforcement bodies, and Serge Sargsyan
tries to do the same thing at the background of the professors.
