When the crimes are rated by double standards
January 20 2015
We are sick and tired of these tongue twisters, which are diligently
repeated especially by the ruling party representatives. The matter is
about the widely used assertion of the "offender has no nationality",
which was recently added by a new provision that the offender has no
religion. Well, then how it happened that another (let's take Ramil
Safarov's case) offender had a nationality, and with and without any
reasons, it was constantly emphasized with favorite expression of
nationalists: "Turk is a Turk". Well, let me bring another example
away from us, the event in Paris, when the offenders had both
nationality and religion. Maybe the offenders stop having a
nationality and religion when they are representatives of the
strategic partner? Hence, in fact, those reiterating such tongue
twisters are the ones who politicize this crime, and make calls for
others to refrain from it. Simultaneously, another tongue twister is
put into circulation, "no need to be guided by emotional motivations"
in the Armenian-Russian relations, and/or this slaughter should not be
made serving the disruption of the Armenian-Russian relations. And in
amazing coincidence, those who say so are the very ones who due to
another massacre wrecked the Armenian-Hungarian relations. People who
previously (let's say, after the murder of Hrant Dink) were working
for the protest to obtain an organized character, now, are talking
against spontaneous protest. In short, the representatives of these
days ruling party do not succeed to bring such a successful argument
with regard to their response to Gyumri events for not to deserve for
an adequate counterargument. Which was done for instance by Argishti
Kiviryan who posted in the "Facebook". The representative of a nation
mourning the genocide for 100 years is saying, "We do not have the
culture of mourning and commemoration." In fact, within this subject,
it's worthwhile quoting also Samvel Martirosyan post, "The offender
has no nationality. The terrorist has no nationality. The ambassador
has no nationality. The consul has no nationality. The tram has no
nationality. ôhe bedside table has no nationality. The mixed-greens
has no nationality. The toilet bowl has a nationality, It is either
Czech or Finnish by origin." ... But in response to the questions about
their double response pertaining to the crimes, the ones who rule just
tell us not to compare them. While, if judging by non-political
criteria, the incident in Gyumri was more cruel, inhuman and
inexplicable, because there is no more heinous crime than killing a
child.
