It is truly said that the "sly fox is caught into a trap by four
legs at once". The infinite wagging in the labyrinth always leads to
a deadlock where the trap is placed. It is worse when such a trap
is placed on the way of escape from responsibility: it is easy to
fall into it "at higher speeds" and firmly. The Yerevan Mayor Taron
Margaryan appeared in such a situation who is trying to cheat on
the young Yerevan residents demanding to stop the destruction of the
Mashtots Park in downtown Yerevan.
How strong a person should believe in cunning to put on a pedestal the
"sacred right of immunity of private property" when in a confrontation
with the authorities and protesting youth? Apparently, the activists
annoyed the Mayor too much with their demands not only to give up
infringement of the "public property" but also to announce "it is
our park". The local oligarchy may tolerate everything except for
such a pretension.
So, it is clear why in the fuss about the park and stores, the
authorities of the country saw only the threat to private property.
Correspondingly, the Mayor's threatening voice was heard "Don't touch
the private property!" So, it is difficult to interpret Taron's lecture
that "development is impossible without an effective protection of the
private property. The property fulfills an important public function
forming material ground for any activities".
Taron had better find another argumentation for the protection of
property of his friends Chorni Gago and Xuchuch Edo. This way, he just
"added fuel" to the dispute over the property between the oligarchs and
the society. Apparently, the acting young Mayor forgot that his father
(the late Premier Andranik Margaryan) usurped the houses and areas of
residents of Yerevan center under the name of the protection of "high
public interests" giving them to the oligarchs for the construction of
elite buildings. Then, this lawlessness was concealed under a different
formulation on the property values and other lectures were heard.
Taron should have not forgotten about this. It is immoral to deprive
citizens of the property (public or private) and hand it to "their
people". It is more immoral to do it under the flag of lectures. The
society will sooner or later remind it. The Mayor has created
preconditions for thousands of people to turn to him with the demand
to return the property which his father seized. And if they do this,
adhering to the movement of protection of property in the Mashtots
Park, we can say that the time came.
Anyway, the protest movement of the youth in the Mashtots Park
acquires significant meaning. Apparently, realizing such threat, the
authorities first decided to root up the pretensions of the youth of
the capital, putting the police against them. But the authorities had
better understand that only the legitimate property can be protected
and only if the respect towards property is universal.
