"The Syrian-Armenian doctor should understand that one should not go
against the mayors in Armenia." Orientalist
August 25 2014
In the conversation with Aravot.am, the orientalist, who lived in
Syria for two years, Artak Avetisyan, referring to the story of Boris
Aghoyan, who moved from Syria to Armenia two years ago and works as a
cardiologist in the hospital in the city of Talin, and being beaten by
the relatives of Talin city mayor, half-jokingly and half-serious
said, "Apparently, perhaps, there is no difference whom they beat, it
could be me or a Georgian-Armenian doctor or another doctor instead of
this Syrian-Armenian doctor, simply with the differences that is the
one being beaten in an known person, not notable with anything, is not
a person of distinguished circles, does not affiliate to certain
wings, does not have a support or a backup, etc., this person can be
beaten, regardless of whether he is immigrated from Syria, it does not
matter that he has brought some equipment for Talin city. I,
certainly, do not justify a man beating, but I think that in this case
they were supposed to differentiate that he is a Syrian-Armenian and
not to beat him." To our observation that the doctor had escaped
unscathed from the wartime turmoil in Syria, now is beaten in the
homeland, our interlocutor said, "Sometimes, our war veterans are
beaten in our country, the wife of a war veteran was beaten to death,
the value field in our country is so mixed up, whom and when caught is
beaten, it is not only beating, they do more complex actions:
plundering, seize the business... This has become an ordinary thing in
our country, an Armenian ordinary classical reality." To our question
of whether it would be wrong for the Syrian-Armenian doctor, who is
going to leave Armenia, get packed, the orientalists said, "Frankly
speaking, let him go, if he thinks that he is much better than the
Armenian living in Armenia, who likewise is beaten in Syunik, Yerevan
and everywhere in Armenia. If the Syrian-Armenian has come to Armenia
and wants to live in Armenia, then he must live with our problems and
our pain, tomorrow there might be firings on the Armenian border and
we face a war, so he that has escaped the shootings there and has come
here, should not go to war? Homeland is equal for everyone, if you
have come here, so be ready to share the daily routine with the
citizen of the homeland. If they think that they should be privileged
in this country, then good-bye to everyone from the beginning to the
end... What was required in the beginning was done, good people helped
them to find job, in short as much as..." You're saying that it turns
out that the Syrian-Armenian should understand where he has come, in
response to our question, our interlocutor continued, "Of course,
anyone must understand that if he had come to live... I've lived in
Syria for two years, in the beginning I also had these kind of
problems, there is a time when you make a mistake, or make a mistakes
to the extent of that these are their traditions, in other words, you
could not do such a thing, you cannot do it there but you can do it
here... After that, he will quickly understand what to do, you will
understand that one cannot displace the mayors' cars, this is Armenia,
you must endure, if needed you should wait for hours until the mayor
has the kindness to do it, one should not go against the mayor, that's
for sure. "
