`One can be sure that it is a compelled text and naturally, he didn't write
it. They gave it to him, considering his language and questions asked, in
order that he said that he was deeply moved with Vahe's death. It is
written by a man who has preferred not to speak about his suffering and not
to visit in these past 12-15 days,' social anthropologist Hranush
Kharatyan, a member of We Demand to Punish Those Guilty of What Happened at
Harsnakar public group, said, in response to a question of
www.aravot.amwhat impression Ruben Hayrapetyan's decision to resign
the MP office had
made on her, particularly given the fact that there had been rather
heart-rending descriptions.
In Ms. Kharatyan's words, even Zori Balayan, who tries his best, puts
all-out effort to inform the society and make it clear for it that the
government hasn't ignored that incident and the developments that followed
it, that Rita Sargsyan, Derenik Dumanyan have visited, cannot find any
words to say about how Hayrapetyan has responded. Even Seyran Ohanyan who
told about the phone conversation between him and Ruben Hayrpetyan,
according to Ms. Kharatyan, actually they both agree that it is
unacceptable, but they try their best to present it in a more mitigated
way, `They both don't agree that it is an obvious crime. The same Samvel
Alexanyan, Rubo's closest friend, says what Rubo is to blame for. So the
people surrounding him and close to him have not found a term that would
show that Ruben Hayrapetyan felt regret and suffering for the past 15 days.
There was no response from him. However, in the end we have a text in
writing, which shows his feelings, how he regrets that he couldn't grasp
fists, which were raised to kill that boy.'
In Ms. Kharatyan's assessment, however, those fists were very well-trained
by Ruben Hayrapetyan to do what they did and it was not the first time they
did it. Moreover, `Ruben Hayrapetyan has had many opportunities to grasp
those fists, but perhaps he has often been one of those who raised their
fists. He beat up personally. After those cases, he never felt pain and
hatred and only now, after death, and most probably under the president's
pressure, perhaps, even getting guarantees from the president that his
privileges wouldn't be restricted, if he wasn't a National Assembly member
anymore, he has spread this text in writing.'
Besides forces supporting Hayrapetyan obviously, in our interlocutor's
opinion, there hasn't been anyone in our society who treated his regret
with understanding or trust. In response to a question of
www.aravot.amwhether at the end of the day, Hayrapetyan's resigning
the office didn't
change anything in our reality, Ms. Kharatyan said, `I think it has changed
something. In a certain case, consistent social pressure has caused some
attitude.
The usage of the phrase `they don't give a damn' is changing and in case of
big consistency, there will be some breakthrough. Certainly, it is a big
change.'
