Anxiety Arising From Suspicion

A month has passed, everything should have taken its swing, the
kindergartens have begun operating, the poisoned children are in good
health but, you see, the video material of the Artsakh public
television referring to the reoperation of the `Artsakhkat' CJSC
shocked me and, I think, many other parents as well. The initial
assumption according to which Artsakhkat was not the reason for
infection was officially confirmed.
As I heard about the poisoning in the kindergarten my first objective
was to get interested in the case and find out what it was caused by,
in the same evening I learned that the frozen meat became the reason.
In all probability it was true as the day before some cases of
poisoning were recorded in the RA. Later the version of meat was
denied when that of Artsakhkat was intrioduced. We intentionally
concentrated on the Artsakhkat dairy produce and tried to convince
ourselves that everything was under control and the deficiencies were
being eliminated. And until the self-persuasion process had been
completed, as a bolt from the blue the public television broadcast the
video material about the reoperation of the Artsakhkat CJSC. The news
item was too official, the healthcare minister was at the dairy plant
who underlined in her speech that the deficiencies had been
eliminated, their produce was merchantable and she called for making
use of its dairy products. Thus, the tale seemed to come to its end
when director of the plant Armo Tsaturyan appeared on the screen whose
speech came to deny the month's rumours and the minister's
announcement.
Dumbfounded I was looking at the screen and recovered from my surprise
only by my child's voice. And so far a question has troubled me: how
can we admit such a frivolous attitude towards our native land and our
inhabitants, especially when this time these inhabitants are the small
children? If the real reason was the Artsakhkat produce, the director
of the plant should have been persuaded with convincing arguments so
as he did not announce all over Artsakh that their produce could not
have become the reason for the infection or if another greater problem
was to be concealed by this, it must have been done more carefully. We
live in a small country where rumours spread quickly. In this
tragicomedy Armo Tsaturyan, however, acted his role of the guilty
party not so well.
In short, today I also take my children to the kindergarten /by the
way, no similar case was recorded in our kindergarten and I would like
to thank the kindergarten administration for that/, but every day I
fear that one day it will be repeated again. My fear was doubled when
I heard that cases of Siberian plague were recorded in Vardenis. Who
can guarantee that the meat with such bacterium will not appear in the
kindergartens. After all, not only children are meant; who is in
general responsible for food security in our country?
In the end, a question arises: where is the guarantee for our security
and why has the private business become so much more important than
the human life?
