How will the Armenian justice attend to the ex-mayor of Gyumri Vardan
Ghukasyan whom the fresh mayor Samvel Balasanyan has bluntly accused
of mismanagement of the city budget?
Yesterday the TV channels televised the indignant speech of the mayor
who announced that the ex-mayor has wasted not only this year's but
also the next year's budget. He has urged the Council of Aldermen to
assign an independent audit but the Council has refused.
Mayor Balasanyan said he will wait till the meeting of the
newly-elected Council in early November and again propose an audit.
The Council may authorize an audit, it will last for several months
while the presidential election will be held, then Vartan Ghukasyan
will be made to pay damages and let go free.
Meanwhile, in the fight against corruption which Serzh Sargsyan has
declared Vardan Ghukasyan's case would be an illustration, especially
in the context of accusations against Vartan Oskanian and lack of
reaction to the case of Vardan Aivazyan.
The three Vardans are an indicator of justice in Armenia. The U.S.
ambassador Heffern said Vartan Oskanian's prosecution is selective
application of the law. The ruling party denies this but cannot explain
its blindness in regard to Vartan Ghukasyan and Vardan Aivazyan.
The outrageous cynicism in the statements and actions of Vardan
Ghukasyan and Vardan Aivazyan indicate their confidence and impunity.
Apparently, this confidence is due to lack of interest of the
government and law-enforcement bodies to their cases. The authorities
may announce that they did not allow Ghukasyan to remain mayor and
even supported the PAP candidate but Gorik Hakobyan, the head of the
National Security Service, did not consider the decision of the New
York Court and Samvel Balasanyan grounded to bring cases.
Apparently, Vardan Aivazyan and Vardan Ghukasyan have not violated
the rights of Huntsman and the Civilitas. And all our NSS does is
protection of their interests.
