ABOUT DOMESTIC PARTNERS
September 10 2013
You can not hurt and pour ridicule on Putin, Russia and the Russian
people. You can not do the same in the case of any other country
or nation. Even on Erdogan or Aliyev, because even though we have
problems with their countries, but these people are the leaders of
these countries and the possible partners, with which problems should
be solved. The state approach should be as such, which should be
displayed by any political force, even the opposition, and thus this
approach differs from dissident displays when you may say everything.
If we love this or that country or its culture, it does not mean
that the rest should be hated. The antonym of love is not hatred
but not love. With this exhortations the first president, ANC leader
Levon Ter-Petrosyan referred to his party members on Saturday. These
judgments are 100% correct. I'm also sure that not only the parties but
also all our citizens, especially those who have the opportunity to
make a public speech, should have restrained and respectful attitude
toward all countries and all nations. Otherwise, it sometimes happens
when the publicists or politicians "peck", let's say, at Erdogan, as
if he is their personal enemy. It is clear that the policy of Turkey
and its Prime Minister, in many cases, is directed against Armenia
and Armenians. But it must be talked about purely politically, and
not by the vocabulary of "Iskra" or "Pravda". It is sad, however,
that the first President did not extend his exhortation to the
domestic life. The logic here may be as follows: if it is true that
the leaders of other countries are potential partners of our state
(the authorities and responsible opposition), with which we have to
solve the problems of foreign relations, it is equally true that all
political parties and all citizens of Armenia are partners for solving
domestic problems. In our country, I think, there is no party that
believes that these problems should be solved by war, and violence,
on the contrary, all are supporters of a dialogue format. Even if it
is said a "revolution", it means the peaceful transfer of the power as
it were, for example, in Poland. Jaruzelski and Polish Communists were
again partners in this respect. Perhaps, the situation of potential
partnership must also be taken into account in the domestic life.
Following the words of some parties and what was written, we can
state that so far it is not so. ARAM ABRAHAMYAN
