The severe sentence of four ANC activists overlapped with Serzh
Sargsyan's speech in the Police board meeting. Serzh Sargsyan stated
that there are no non-punishable people, and hinted that he will back
up the police. Apparently, the verdict sentencing the young activist
of the ANC to 6 years was passed in this context, in order to show
that the smallest step against the Police will be punished severely.
However, the severe punishment applied to the Congress activists will
hardly console or satisfy the policemen or inspire them or help them
feel protected and backed by Serzh Sargsyan.
Serzh Sargsyan and the police, even those red-beret policemen who
were sitting on the bench of sufferers during the trial of young ANC
activists know very well that the citizens fighting for their rights,
freedoms, rule of law and Constitution are not a threat to the police
and there is no need to defend the policemen from them.
In Armenia the oligarchs and the gangs of their bodyguards are a
threat to the police the protection of which is often the task of
the policemen. The Police of Armenia is used to protect oligarchs,
different business and political clans, protect them, cover up their
crimes, declare the guilty innocent, blame the innocent, overlook
unlawfulness from everyday life to elections.
The young activists of the Congress, and generally the citizens
fighting for the enforcement of the Constitution, the rule of law and
freedoms will protect and back up every official, government agency,
the police.
Consequently, the verdict on the young activists is not protection
of the police. It is warp of truth, conscious or not, which deepens
the influence of the oligarchy on the police. Meanwhile, the future
of every subject in Armenia depends on how fast inertia will end.
The Armenian society is not moving by inertia. So, the Armenian
society has future, also in the face of the "condemned" young people,
and perhaps all the other subjects need to think about future.
