THE INTERNATIONAL STRUCTURES WILL BE INFORMED ABOUT THE CASES OF KIDNAPPING AND BEATING OF THE ACTIVISTS
February 10 2015
Human right activist Artur Sakunts believes that violence in Armenia
has become the only way of expressing the attitude against the
problems and solving them. "The acts of violence as a form of attitude
have become commonplace and are regularly repeated. The political
affiliation, occupation, sex and social status do not matter anymore.
The acts of violence are constantly repeated because the characteristic
feature of the system is the impunity; violence are either not revealed
and are concealed or the persons using violence remain unpunished.
The series of acts of violence against the Pre-parliament members
began since last year, now, it continues against the protesters of
the law on turnover tax. I do not even want to go further to know who
could do it, but interestingly, HRD representatives commenced their
searching operations by the traces of Artak Khachatryan's violence
through questioning the law enforces, who were the number one possible
suspect structures. Of course, they informed that they are unaware
and have not detained, but the law enforcement actions are not only
limited to detainment. They may not detain, but take to another place,
commit an act of violence, leave helpless and go away like they did
with Artak," said Arthur Sakunts.
According to him, a person who plans to commit such an act in the
daytime, in a mask and on a car without a license plate, cannot commit
such an act, unless he is sure that he will remain unpunished. "And
only the person sponsored by the government authorities may have the
chance of impunity. I doubt that those responsible for the incident
in Berdzor will be punished and those beating the activists will be
identified. The series of violence, in my opinion, is a terrorism
against the public. The atmosphere of fear is the approach through
which they want to make the situation manageable, because they are
unable to find solutions and give answers to the questions raised
through civil disobedience, and the only way is the violence."
Mr. Sakunts said that the human rights defenders are going to
raise the recent acts of violence both inside the country and at the
international instances, with whom Armenia shares the membership. "The
concern is not only stating these acts of violence, but the ability
to respond afterwards, both inside the country and beyond. We have
a non-responsible, inadequate and incompetent government, which will
not be able to answer these questions."
