President Serzh Sargsyan's brother, Member of Parliament Sashik
Sargsyan, Republican, was again involved in a scandal. He behaved
inappropriately and shouted abuse at the reporter. The reporter has
published the recording. The reporter merely asked him a question
about his likelihood to run in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
`We raise the benchmark not only for the activities of the party and
the results thereof but also the members of the party and their
activities. Each of us, every Republican is responsible for his or her
action and inaction. He or she is accountable not only to the party
but also to the country. Moreover, he or she is responsible not only
for his or her behavior but also the behavior of their subordinates
and the members of their families,' Serzh Sargsyan stated in his
speech on December 18, 2010 during the event on the 20th anniversary
of the Republican Party.
How is Serzh Sargsyan going to account for the behavior of the member
of his family, his brother? Will he make sure the member of parliament
is held responsible for insulting the reporter? Or will it be the way
it was with the scandal involving Ruben Hairapetyan, another member of
the extended government `family'? Ruben Hairapetyan was said to be
`excited' when he shouted abuse at the reporter, and he got away with
it.
What is the value of Serzh Sargsyan's speeches on European values,
tolerance, accountability? How will the society, the citizen believe
in these speeches if they are not going to apply to such cases?
