PAPERS WILL NOT HELP OR SCANDALOUS PRECEDENT
The police made an interesting statement on Nerses Nazaryan's
dismissal. It becomes known from this statement that the high-ranking
police official was dismissed because he ran businesses which affected
negatively the state of law enforcement, his own performance and the
performance of the garrison of Yerevan.
Once Nerses Nazaryan confessed publicly that the owner of the
Moskvichka chain of grocery stores is his son. Nazaryan is also known
to have a building material business.
However, as the chief of police Vova Gasparyan told Lragir.am
yesterday, no business is registered in the general's name. His family
members may have businesses but it is their business, and they have
the right from the Constitution, he said.
In other words, as Serzh Sargsyan had told in answer to a reporter's
question on Republican MPs who run businesses, everything is fine with
their papers. But in fact, papers did not save Nazaryan. Although,
interestingly, everything was fine with papers on the eve but today the
police opposes Nerses Nazaryan's papers with a paper. The police stated
against serving at the police and running businesses at the same time.
This is a strange but interesting precedent. It is interesting because
"papers" can be used for something else.
By the way, interestingly, along with the statement of the police
a new civic action made a statement listing corrupt officials and
demanding their dismissal.
It will be at least strange if it is a matter of principle for the
police to be against officials who run businesses, whereas for the
public administration it is not. Now hardly anyone in this system
has more powerful papers than those of Nersik Nazaryan.
It is not important whether Nazaryan was dismissed for running
businesses or because the police used this opportunity to prevent
a bigger scandal. The precedent is important, especially the one
supported by an official statement because so far no official has
been dismissed for running a business or even on an excuse covering
up the real reason.
Ostensibly, Nerses Nazaryan should not be the only one, either in
the police or in the public administration in general. In addition,
the Constitution prohibits officials to run a business, which supposes
responsibility.
Nazaryan's example shows that "papers" are not a hindrance. In
addition, no paper can be stronger than the Constitution.
