NURNBERG FOR KRIVOPUSKOV
Victor Krivopuskov, a Russian embassy official, is going to organize
an Armenian-Russian scientific forum. Science is commendable, of
course, but if science in Armenia is being dealt with by a person
who used to deal with chasing Armenians of Artsakh 23 years ago,
something is wrong.
This is the same Krivopuskov, who was one of the commanders of the
Soviet OMON involved in the "passport regime" against the Armenian
population in Artsakh two decades ago.
Everyone who had to deal with it or learned from daily news will tell
what the" passport regime" in Artsakh was and what mission the Soviet
OMON carried out there. The passport regime was a psychological attack
with physical interventions against the Armenian population of Artsakh.
The Soviet OMON disarmed Artsakh for Azerbaijan, intimidated Armenians,
tried to eliminate all the hotbeds of possible resistance.
It failed. Or succeeded partly when the people of Artsakh learned from
tangible losses that reliance on the Russian brotherhood intensifies
the consequences of the Azerbaijani cruelty, leads to territorial
and human losses, so they should rely on themselves.
And now the person who used to be one of the commanders of
Soviet-Russian offenders is pretending to be Armenia's friend. In
addition, he does not seem to have apologized for his actions in
Artsakh or for the activities of the agency he used to head.
On the other hand, who cares for his apology and the apology of
all those people who used to act against the Armenian population
of Artsakh? There was a time when these people were destroyed. Now
time has changed, and it has been over a decade that people to whom
national interest and dignity are convertible values make decisions.
Therefore, Krivopuskov stays in Armenia for years, whereas he should
have no right to appear in Armenia at all or once he appears, he
should be held responsible for everything that took place during the
"passport regime" under his supervision. And not only him but also
everyone who acted against the Armenian interests.
In fact, independent Armenia needs a "Nurnberg" with at least distance
verdicts, not necessarily a capital punishment but for most of those
people it would be hard to think of a milder one, given what they
did against the Armenians of Artsakh.
However, the Armenian Nurnberg did not take place because, perhaps,
such proceedings would reveal also interesting layers on the Armenian
side, unmask the Armenian partners of the Soviet Russian OMON. It
could be lustration for independent Armenia.
Meanwhile, lustration has never been an attractive idea over the
past 22 years of independence of Armenia, and one of the key reasons
for that was over the past 22 years of independence Armenia has not
become vitally attractive for its citizens.
