Yesterday, the Chairman of the Football Federation of Armenia, MP
Ruben Hayrapetyan made a couple of significant statements which prove
that oligarchs in Armenia are in a fatal state.
The entire speech of Ruben Hayrapetyan was built on the `right to mob
law'. First, he said that he punishes those who, in the Avan district
of Yerevan or elsewhere, sell drugs by beating them. Then he promised
to punish those who insult him in Facebook.
It is not known whether proceedings will be launched against Ruben
Hayrapetyan, though it is highly doubted. Ruben Hayrapetyan confesses
that he knows those who sell drugs and instead of reporting to the
Prosecutor's office he punished them personally is an obvious crime.
Mob rules and solution of problems through violence is the main
characteristic of the oligarchy. The rate of bloody incidents
involving Armenian oligarchs has dropped but the important thing is
that this method has stopped being taken as the only and `regular' way
of settling conflicts. It means that the oligarchy is deprived of its
main weapon - violence and impunity.
The oligarchy, once deprived of mob law and tax evasion, will go on to
speak for a while, then everyone will understand that the king is
naked.
Ruben Hayrapetyan's statements aim at `reminding' everyone that there
is still powder in the gun that the oligarchs can use and beat up not
only the drug dealers in the streets but even the `spectacled' guys
sitting in front of their computers.
