Vova Gasparyan: One-Man Show
Chief of Police of Armenia, Vladimir Gasparyan, who was called by
Marxist David Hakobyan a `great artist' apparently, launched a
`one-man show'. He assumed the function of the grubber of the
`criminal thinking' in the country, engaged in restoration of the good
name of the police officer, as well as of the person who can order to
`stop Tsarukyan'.
On this stage, Vova Gasparyan is alone, and no matter how good he is at
acting, spectators want other actors too - the general prosecutor, the head
of State Revenue Committee, and finally the president. Spectators demand to
put thieves behind bars.
Many wonder why Vova Gasparyan, of course with Serzh Sargsyan's agreement,
uproots the thief culture in the country. Many say that the authorities
rely on this culture and so they can't root it up, so this is theater. In
reality, everything is much deeper. The authorities indeed rely on the
criminal world, they are a part of it, but they have changed orientation
trying to come out of the post-soviet incarnation and to enter the Western
family. For this, the power needs to cut ties first of all with the
post-soviet criminal world, which is not directly under it. Now, the
authorities should either make thieves in law, who rule in other capitals,
obey to them, or to marginalize them.
In Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili's first step after coming to power was to
launch a mass arrest of thieves in law. Saakashvili, who was accused of
Western orientation, would have been unable to detach the country from the
post-soviet domain, if thieves in law still ruled there.
Now, apparently, the same process is taking place in Armenia. But thieves
are not arrested, but `provided with emigration,' as Vova Gasparyan
defined. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Saakashvili was not related
to the world of thieves and did not live by its laws, while Vova Gasparyan
is still in the post-Soviet space of thieves. That's why he does not catch
the thieves, but sends into exile.
The world of thieves in law in Armenia along with its representatives,
oligarchs, is ceding positions. The state laws have not yet replaced the
thieves' laws, and they will never do if the Chief of Police keeps talking
to thieves their own language instead of using the language of laws.
Moreover, if he does not speak the language of laws, thieves will again
become power tomorrow. After Bidzina Ivanishvili came to power in Georgia,
he released all thieves in law from prisons.
