MONSTROUS RULES IN SYUNIK
Emil Budaghyan, father of Artak and Avetik Budaghyan, said in an
interview with GALA TV that his sons went to the ex-governor's
house because the latter had invited them. He also said that Surik
Khachatryan usually invites businessmen to his house, beat them up
and send them home.
Even against the background of the tragedy in Syunik, Emil Budaghyan's
statement still sounds monstrous. What is in general happening in
Armenia, especially in the regions? Can the governor or someone else
really invite certain people to his house, beat them up and send
them back?
The important thing is how long all this continued that someone
decided to go there with a gun to be able to defend their dignity.
They know very well that one day people will come after them so they
surround themselves with bodyguards and keep an arsenal in their
houses shooting at anyone they suspect.
The Syunik tragedy became the gates of hell of informal, backstage
relations in state and municipal authorities. It reveals new details
of the unpleasant way of life that many of those who appear before
cameras with medals and innocent expression lead.
Surik Khachatryan's confidence that his friends will not leave him
alone means that his friends really promised to help him but it also
means that his official image was replaced by a different image of
a sinful person overwhelmed with fear and desperation.
The authorities can say that Surik Khachatryan got a punishment -
he has been dismissed, his son is in jail, and his status is low,
arsenal was found in his house. Besides, the accusation against Artak
Budaghyan is a direct accusation to Surik Khachatryan. The text of
the indictment holds: "Learning that his brother Avetik Budaghyan was
beaten up in Surik Khachatryan's car..." This means that Khachatryan
should be charged for beating. Finally, he may be arrested for this.
But who will be responsible for the humiliation and violation of
dignity of thousands of people, who in magnificent Zangazur in fear
for years lived, knowing that they may be invited to the governor's
house at any time, beaten and let go? Who is in charge of Armenia's
dignity in general?
