OMBUDSMAN'S LUST FOR BECOMING A HERO

Does our country need a human rights defender who, lured by western
powers, wages a battle with demons who are experienced and powerful
enough to put the young "idealist" into his place.
The term idealist has been used by the incumbent ombudsman himself
to characterize his own personality. Can idle talks be of any use to
a country or at least one person? Maybe our newly-hatched idealist
does not even try to do anything good, and seeks only to create the
image of the hero he is dreaming about? Wasn't [former Ombudsman]
Armen Harutyunyan better? Being one of the 'best' representatives of
the Armenian reality, he knew at least how to behave, without losing
his weighty tone and image.
Within the past month our hero has worked considerably well in
an attempt to cut a hero's figure. His statement slamming the
municipality's decision to dismantle the kiosks in capital Yerevan was
his first step in that direction. It looks as though we were unaware
of it. Then, out of the thousands of court proceedings, he targeted
one case, making the names of three judges public to the whole world.
That certainly vexed the judges, but did justice take its course? And
last but not the least, the ridiculous squabble with the Ministry of
Education and Science.
Refraining from any legal assessments on the ombudsman-idealist's
attacks, let's simply note that winners are never judged. But we have
never seen victories by the incumbent ombudsman and will never see if
the things go this way. So avoid compromising his own office's name,
he would better pull himself together or, following his predecessor's
example, travel to other countries not to pollute the air with
idle talks.
