The army has not been ruled by the law but ministerial orders,
government decrees, as well as the unacceptable Soviet legacy,
criminal rules so far," stated the head of the NA Defense Committee
Hrair Karapetyan.
Tomorrow the army will celebrate its 20th anniversary. This birthday
will be under social focus as it has become clear that the army is
not the family house of the generals but public property.
This process is complicated, as the legitimization of any closed
system. The representatives of army structures are trying to cover the
gaps with curtains, announcing that reporters must reveal the sources
of incidents reported in the army though they are still trying to
prove that the investigation of incidents is the business of the army.
The references to the enemy's mill are still alive.
However, the wall is melting like ice, and high-ranking officials
already start understanding that all these arguments are funny. For
instance, in the past 2 years the army crimes covered by the media
outlets did not bring any achievement to the enemy's mill.
Our rivals in war are not happy with these publications. Moreover,
they fear that the Armenian army is healing. And it is not accidental
that they do not accuse the watchdogs of treason. Another hindrance,
namely the military secret, has also been overcome. This year the
soldiers began speaking up about army incidents. It was general
information but the number of incidents has dropped. Nobody argues
that information, and this was a credit to the army.
This credit should indicate to the army command that the society
is not the enemy of the army, as some people try to present it, and
is not going to degrade the army. People simply try to know in what
conditions their sons work, what dangers they undergo and how they
punish those guilty. And if the army leadership announces that their
sons serve in normal conditions, they must not have anything to hide.
On the contrary, the army leadership must reveal these conditions. The
lack of information makes the society suppose that the conditions
are not model ones. And the society starts to fight.
The army has become more open. There is more discipline there. More
incidents happen, often resulting in death but only because a lot of
people are still unpunished because the army lives by criminal rules
which supposes framework guarantees.
The army leadership will have to eliminate it one day. For this reason,
it is necessary to reveal and punish those guilty, otherwise there
will be more claims.
