    SERJ TANKIAN TO SERZH SARGSYAN: "YOU HAVE NOT ANSWERED ANY OF MY QUESTIONS"

    Today, Serzh Tankian sent a new letter to Serzh Sargsyan, which was
    sent to Mediamax by his manager George Tonikyan:

    "Dear Mr. President,

    I am honored that you have responded to my letter.

    I actually wasn't expecting a response, given the harsh criticism
    I conveyed.

    The fact that you have done so is encouraging.

    But with respect, you have not answered any of my questions nor
    addressed any of the issues I brought up in my letter directly.

    I think you have done a great job at securing Armenia's bordersand
    dealing with the extremely sensitive and difficult situation presented
    by the realities after the Karabakh war.

    If you remember, I told you that in person and commended your efforts
    in that regard.

    That said, security cannot be the scapegoat to diffuse attention from
    the inequities and injustices in our homeland.

    Republicans in the U.S. have done that for too many elections and no
    one seems to buy it anymore.

    I, too, feel responsible to future generations for what we leave
    behind.

    That is the reason for my speaking out, getting involved with mining
    and environmental abuse in Armenia (Teghut) and encouraging further
    farm subsidies to render our nation more self sufficient.

    Citizens across Armenia are protesting the outcome of the elections
    and the injustice inherent in the political establishment. Please
    listen to their complaints.

    Listen to the striking students and don't let the schools or police
    shut out their voices from our democracy. They are the future of
    Armenia after all.

    Corruption, injustice, emigration, lawlessness and falsified
    elections. These ills have emptied our country of its citizens more
    than mines and bombs.

    What are you going to do about them?

    Are you going to reform the system?

    Dear Mr. President, please institute the rule of law once and for all
    so that people feel respected in the eyes of the law and the courts.

    The constitution and the laws of Armenia are fine. It is their
    execution that is lacking. We are all tired of hearing about investors
    turned away, robbed of their investments in Armenia, political pressure
    used for personal gain, media manipulation and consolidation for
    political means, injustice in the courts, and on and on.

    Most people feel that it will take a generational change to alter the
    political culture in Armenia, to rid ourselves of the overt corruption
    and abuse.

    You can make that happen now!

    In your letter you have recognized the need for that change and
    seem to suggest that you are willing to take substantive steps in
    that regard so that we don't have to wait another 20 years for us to
    arrive to true freedom.

    For that, your people will be eternally grateful Serzh.

    An equitable nation is a strong nation, where people are not only
    proud of their history, but also proud of their present.

    I agree that we should all work together toward a better future
    for Armenia.

    I appreciate the warm wishes to my father. I too, send my regards
    and love to your family and hope to meet your grandson Serj sometime.

    Peace,

    Serj Tankian".
