One or the other survives
Two weeks ago, on 01.03.2012, I wrote my article entitled "Not DARE
Repeat. In the memory of our victims from 1915 to 1 March 2008".
Tonight, at 9:30 pm, they again DARED. They dared think, plan and
use non-proportionate force and violence against a peaceful sit-in
of a group of civil activists, against the civil movement of the
self-determined new generation.
This is the reflection of the crystallized domestic situation, of two
mutually exclusive and opposite ideas and systems. On the one hand,
the criminal and oligarchic state, on the other hand, the formation and
consolidation of the civil state. However, the criminal and oligarchic
system - a closed, pyramid, non-free and non-tolerant in essence
- was unable to obey the rules of the game of the self-determined
civil movement of the new generation for Constitutional order on the
public and legal platform. Their experience on the field did not
last for even three weeks (21.02.12 - 14.03.12), and the criminal
and oligarchic system saw threat in further escalation of the civil
movement to its existence. They justify the use of every method to
hinder the self-determined civil movement for the RA constitutional
rights. The judgment of the Independent and Fair Civil Court (13.03.12)
and peaceful sit-in sent them into panic.
I would like to repeat against that the criminal and oligarchic
system which has impoverished and surrendered our home country for 20
years will not tolerate establishment and development of democracy
and democratic institutions, let alone their development which is
incompatible with its nature. The compromise between and coexistence
of these two opposite systems in essence is impossible in the same
area, city, institution, country, world. One of them will survive.
This is the global issue, challenge, choice. One must be aware that
everyone who accepts the rules of this game intentionally or not,
disinterested or in return for something, promote the dominance and
continuity of the criminal and oligarchic system one way or another
and hence the degradation of our people.
At home and abroad, the alarm went on for us all. Once again the
first course of display of force was served in Armenia on 14.03.12.
The criminal and oligarchic species defies the rules of the game of
the civil society, democracy and state. They are confused to have to
take account of the new civil movement which they cannot control and
which makes them obey the rules of civil and constitutional order.
The VIOLENT method is always adopted against any threat to their
existence.
The fight for values, ideas and programs must be carried on on the
civil and constitutional platforms to heal the people and the state.
When those who are opposite to clash and struggle adopt the method
of violence and bloodshed to exterminate the opponent, these people
and their harmful and dangerous actions are referred to as inhuman
scheme, injustice, unlawfulness, factors, tools, programs and actions
threatening the existence of individuals and the society. The dominance
of human consciousness and will and the mechanism of fair trial,
punishment and compensation can slow down the reproduction of such
factors, tools and programs.
We cannot allow them to attack again. Ignoring, keeping silent,
agreement, remaining neutral means supporting a greater wave of
violence. It is an action against the sovereignty of our state and
society.
All the individuals of our people and nation, organizations and
structures, at home and in the Diaspora, have to establish their
standpoint immediately if they wish to prevent and stop bloodshed
and violent encroachments on our collective existence. Inaction is
equal to cooperation with anti-constitutional and anti-democratic
officials or forces. They will also be held responsible if they dare
cooperate again.
They must be held responsible by the public and the chief of police
and mayor of Yerevan must be punished severely for their openly
anti-constitutional and illegal decisions, for misuse of their powers,
for actions against the rights of people. They must be held responsible
IMMEDIATELY and be punished in accordance with the letter and spirit
of the RA Constitution.
