Serzh Sargsyan Is Afraid of Weapon

During the meeting with the Public Council Serzh Sargsyan said against
the idea of arming the residents of border areas. He said those who
can pick up a gun can serve in the Armed Forces.
Serzh Sargsyan is right. If there is an army, the one who wants to
pick up a gun should serve there, and all the conditions should be
ensured for them.
It would be right to create such conditions for veterans of Artsakh
war. Their social problems would be resolved, and they would exchange
experience with inexperienced young men who are defending the border
now.
Meanwhile, Volodya Avetisyan, the veteran who was protesting against
the social situation of veterans, is now in prison with suspicious
charges.
Recently a pack of "bodyguards" beat to death veteran Vardan Tumanyan
with his wife and daughter watching. And as they were leaving the
scene, they threatened witnesses that if they gave evidence, they
would have trouble. There is no need to doubt that the bodyguards will
be set free soon, especially that the press reported about their
relations with some prosecutors.
Such crimes are still committed in different parts of Armenia, often
using weapon. Yesterday the brother of the director of the Pedagogical
Institute of Gyumri was killed in Gyumri. The nephew of the deputy
chief of police of Yerevan stabbed a person and is still "wanted"
though it is clear that he is waiting in his uncle's house until
things are covered up. The examples are many. The newsfeed is full of
such news featuring close people of high-ranking officials.
Serzh Sargsyan is theoretically right but in practice it would be
right if there was justice and a different philosophy of rule in
Armenia and everyone was equal before law, and everyone was in their
right place.
However, the Armenian reality is different. The law enforcement
agencies are criminalized agencies directed by "criminal law",
protectionism and other vices. This system is a punitive instrument
used against citizens that ensures the arbitrariness of the government
and freedom of its actions.
When the law is not enforced, the only logical way out is to arm the
population of entire Armenia, not only the border villages. The
citizens of Armenia are not protected, their life is in danger at
every step. Some pithecanthropus people beat to death the veteran who
fought for the freedom and dignity of Armenia and did not wink an eye
in the sight of the Azerbaijanis outnumbering Armenians several times.
The son of Tokhmakh Mher, a member of the Council of Elders of
Yerevan, stabs a person in broad daylight and so on.
The citizens of Armenia have nowhere to go to have their basic rights
protected. The only way is to ensure their own security themselves.
When the leadership of the country is helpless (though this is not the
case of helplessness but protectionism) to protect people's security,
people should do it themselves, one of the ways of doing it is to get
armed. Gun makes man bolder and more confident. Besides, the criminals
ravaging Yerevan and other places will know that their opponents are
armed.
Such situations occur when the state system is paralyzed, overwhelmed
by arbitrariness and immorality. This is the current situation in
Armenia.
On the other hand, the function of arming people is not only intended
to protect people's security. The point is that the upcoming war is
going to be a patriotic war because the Armenian people will have to
fight on two fronts, against the foreign enemy and the domestic enemy
- the system that has usurped national institutions and wealth,
against the fifth column which will try to thwart Armenian resistance.
The forces of the army are not enough for this fight, and the armed
support of the entire nation will be needed.
The army will destroy the foreign enemy, and the armed troops of
people must keep the rare, destroying the most dangerous enemy - the
domestic enemy. There is no need to doubt.
Why is Serzh Sargsyan against arming people?
