`Ones who may die for truth'
June 7 2013
Now, when Surik Khachatryan is a former official, my estimates will be
more moderate. You will say why, isn't he the same person who
`occupied' the Governor's Office of Goris with armed detachment, whose
name is connected with multiple murders, beatings, rapes, and who
personally and with his `bodyguards' was keeping the whole Syunik Marz
in fear. Yes, it's about the same Liska, but about a man who
significantly has less leverage since yesterday to continue his
`activity', as well as to settle scores with those criticizing him.
(The sons-in-law are out the count. their threats are coming from
narrow personal sphere). If we keep talking about the former Governor
of Syunik in the same spirit as we were talking during his tenure, we
will be similar to those politicians and commentators who were getting
on their high horses after February 1998, condemning `the previous
criminal regime'. Therefore, it's time to talk not about the
personalities, but the values. The interpretation of what happened,
according to the system of values, is as follows: `The Budaghyan
family behaved a little wrong towards Surik, so Surik, a guy who may
die for truth and self-esteem, solves the issues like a true Armenian
man.' Now, if we put aside the fact of being a Governor and the former
heroic deeds of given person, let's admit whether this explanation is
not acceptable for the majority of population of Armenia. Whether
these norms adopted in the joint world of criminals, oligarchs and the
`official' are not included in the scope of general understanding of
our public. Whoever holds a knife in the hands, slaughters, whoever
has a rifle in the hand (for example, in the army), shoots. So how can
they go against the truth? So far as just such guys become not only
governors, but also members of parliament, oligarch and authority, in
other words, they have reached the desired peak of their life, it is
very natural that the majority of teenagers and young people are
oriented by such standards of life and such system of values. The main
topic of conversation in their neighborhood is, who how many cars,
house and a bodyguard has. Their parents discuss the same topics: they
have this, they have that, but the poor people ... A situation is
created that reminisces the era of Brezhnev: in those times people
were talking about high values from the official tribunes, about
execution and re-execution of the plan, but the majority of population
was dreaming about to become a `workshop man', a storekeeper, an
inspector, a prosecutor, or a secretary of the Regional Committee, and
enjoy the life. So as today, whatever is officially said about
patriotism, national values, or, I do not know, nzhdehism, absolutely
`does not meet' the reality. First of all, due to such characters as
Liska. Aram ABRAHAMYAN
