The People newspaper reported that the case brought against
Alla Abrahamyan, the niece of Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, has been
dismissed. She had rundown and killed a 3-year-old child. The police
confirmed that the criminal case was dismissed because of the absence
of corpus delicti.
This information is especially interesting in the context of Serzh
Sargsyan's statement that nobody will be unpunished in Armenia. In
fact, there are people who can commit a crime and go unpunished and
they have very specific names and surnames, very specific relatives
at high-ranking levels.
On the other hand, Serzh Sargsyan is right when he says that nobody
will avoid punishment, the problem is to prove the crime. This is where
difficulties occur because there are a lot of non-provable people. They
may kill a person, intentionally or not but avoid responsibility while
a youth supporting the opposition does not have the right to scowl
at a policeman, and if he dies, he will be sentenced to six years.
There is no impunity but the crimes and sins of oppositionist and
ordinary citizens are proven a priori while the crimes and sins of
high-ranking officials, their friends and bodyguards are revealed
and proven.
Serzh Sargsyan was right when he said there is no impunity but he
forgot to speak about non-provability. As soon as no "non-provable"
people are left in Armenia, Armenia will establish the rule of law and
people will be equal before law independent from their social status.
