PREDICTIONS ARE COMING TRUE

AZG Armenian Daily
16/05/2006

Undoubtedly, it is very concerning that crimes, based on national hate,
are increasing day by day, and RF officials and law enforcement bodies
do not pay a proper attention to these crimes.

Several days ago, the cruel assassination of 17 year-old Vahan
Abrahamianc by chauvinists in the “Pishkinskaja” subway, does confirm
the fact that today society is not protected from the actions of
these rascals. By the way, recently the president of the Unity of
Armenians in Russia Ara Abrahamyan gave a strict criticism regarding
this issue. According to his statement, the number of the victims
subjected to racial discrimination has been doubled, as compared to
the same period of the previous year. It is the time for the officials
to pay a proper attention to this.

We had a conversation with a famous advocate, the former advisor of
the representative on Human Rights of RF, Arbak Khachatryan. He also
condemned state and law enforcement bodies regarding the present
situation.

“Skinheads are rascals who, taking the state bodies as enemy for
them, became more powerful and feel themselves unpunished. I am sure,
that the actions of these rascals can be stopped now only through
many sacrifices,” said A. Khachatryan.

Three years ago, Arbak Khachatryan, in the letters addressed to
the president of RF V. Putin, described in details what Russia will
encounter within the coming 2-3 years. Unfortunately, at that time
Kremlin didn’t pay a serious attention to these proposals.

The lawyer of A. Khachatryan Oksana Kosachova handed me the copies
of the letters addressed to V. Putin in 2003 that concerned the
developments in Russia and the countries of the region within the
coming 2-3 years.

A. Khachatryan said that he didn’t want to talk about the
discrimination implemented by some powers and bodies towards national
minorities, as there are people who would give political meaning to
his words.

But in the near future, he will answer the questions of the readers of
“Azg”.

When the conversation came to an end, I began to think about how the
Check businessmen, Valeri Bugrov and other Russian businessmen felt,
whose fake and baseless testimonies isolated A. Khachatryan from
political, social field for three years. I would like to inform the
readers that at the present the lawyers of A. Khachatryan continue
the processes of justification and rehabilitation in high instances,
while a group of lawyers have allied to European Court in order to
make the Check businessmen and Valeri Bugrov bear the appropriate
liability. I hope we would be able to discuss these issues more
detailed during our up-coming meeting.

Letter To The president of RF Vladimir Putin

From: The former advisor of the representative on Human Rights of RF
Arbak Khachatryan

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich,

In January 2003, I turned to you regarding the actions of some
officials whose activity can take the relationships between Moscow
and some countries of CIS to crisis. There was a prognosis regarding
the relationships with Georgia, Moldavia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and
Armenia-Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which is more painful to me. I place
the blame for all this on governors and their trustees. Meantime,
we are going to encounter such strategic problems, like Caspian
oil pipeline and gas pipeline issues. I think there are the same
problems in Ukraine as well, where anti-Russian sentiments are going
to increase.

After my letter, by the efforts of some political Lilliputians, I was
arrested. DEP FSS of RF turned to the investigative service of FSS
with operative information stating that I am one of the leaders of
criminal international group and have ties with the bosses of mafia
from Corsica to Cyprus and if I stay in freedom, the diplomatic
relationships between Russia and Armenia will get destroyed. The
creator of this “detective story” was the leadership of Armenia.

I got acquainted with these documents.

Officially, the reason of my arrest was the accusation of
contraband. The close friend of my family didn’t declare the
money during the flight from Moscow to Yerevan. After the repeated
interrogatories within 9 months (attempt of suicide, Psychiatric
hospital) he gave a testimony that I gave him money and asked him
intentionally not to declare the money and added that at the passage
through VIP lounge they check very badly. This was the base of the
accusative conclusion of smuggling. This episode was classified as
“smuggling in extremely big amount”. A smuggler who transfers drugs,
weapons is considered to be less dangerous then a passenger who,
because of run of time, didn’t declare the money. Damage to Russia
and its citizens doesn’t exist. Perhaps, that’s why the prosecutor
asked for a sentence of 7 years. From 7 to 12 years in jail await
under this article. Golovinski court of Moscow brought in the verdict
of not guilty.

But the executors weren’t satisfied with this, as it would mean that
I was kept in Lefortovo illegally.

State court of Moscow, being in “despair”, sent the case for the new
review of law. Why in “despair”?

Because I must be informed of the date, place and the subject of the
hearing beforehand. While I was informed of it only after the hearing
of the process.

There are different types of methods. It is not necessary to have
direct evidence for the verdict.

Sometimes it is enough to disseminate fake information, which will
influence the decision of the Judge.

These presumptuous executors think that they can rule the fates of
people and even nations. Economy and international relationships
get destroyed because of such activity. It is possible to restore
the economy and the welfare of people, while it is impossible to
root out the international conflict. What’s going on now between
Russian and people from the Caucasus?. The whole world became our
enemy. People living in the Caucasus do hate each other and everybody
realizes that this is the guilt of the governors and their trustees. 60
percent of the population in Armenia has left the country. Emigrants
are struggling for elementary survival. They are humiliated, put in
jail because of a sell of air tickets, they are accused of assisting
terrorism. Armenia doesn’t provide them with legal protection. Do
these governors, who don’t have dignity for their nation, can be
worthy leaders and political partners.

Unfortunately, any problem in Russia and not only in Russia, is
solved by making law stricter. Every citizen of Russia is glad to
have a powerful and faithful president. But when a political figure
(Grizlov) declared for more then 300 deputies (I apologize in front
of the deputies who are not in that list) that they will support
any candidate represented by the President in 3 years, it reminds
me of the horse of the Roman Emperor, which has a right of voice
in Senate, as it was the wish of the Emperor. These “people” fill
order for lifetime. They get power by accident and have one method
of work-Stalin method.

Weak people either are killed or sent to jail without a reason. These
methods will take the country to a very sad end.

It is proper to a man to cover up the action of the members of his
team. However, this kind of actions of the head of the country can
bring to a very painful situation for the country.

My request to you is connected with the law enforcement bodies and
justice, as life, more or less, has taught us to understand people,
who, being in despair, fill order against their will. We can at least
admire genius of lawyers, who edited the content of the article about
the motives of imprisonment.

The person, who didn’t declare the money, free. I pray he wouldn’t be
sentenced to imprisonment. I have a condescending attitude towards
the witnesses as well, as I don’t have a right to blame people,
who, in order to survive, behaved themselves unfaithful towards my
personality. I don’t have anything against those people, who gave
a testimony while being in a frustrating situation and generals who
became private.

I have questions only to those people, who are guilty for my arrest
and have immense power.

I am asking you to help me regarding two questions.

Firstly, there are the copies of the letters in the criminal case
addressed to a company, which is in Check Republic which involved
in the signatures of leaders of Gazprom as well. Originals of these
letters are in Czech Republic. I am asking you to help me in obtaining
the expertise of these signatures, so in future the case won’t be
given a political color.

Second-When I was getting acquainted with the criminal case, I learned
that I was fired before 2 days of my arrest. Doesn’t it remind you
of Stalin period?

Before my arrest I was the head of the Russian delegation on Human
rights in France. After my return, the members of the commission
came to you together with the solicitation for granting me a rang
of first class. This day coincided with the day of my dismissal. My
lawyer possesses the authentic copies of these documents. This issue
is of a moral importance to me.

After the first letter I am sure that you will receive this information
with the distortion of the content, if you receive it at all. I
dictated the text to my lawyer, so you can receive the information
through NGOs and Mass media.

Sincerely, Arbak Khachatryan.
