"THERE ARE NO SUPPOSITIONS, THERE IS PROFESSIONAL WORK"

Part of Armenians officials, which is closer to the whole, certainly
have not read the Bible. One of these officials is Armen Smbatyan,
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Armenia to Russia.
The crash of the Armenian A320 took the lives of 113 people and
aroused a lot of questions and suspicions, which are increasing
daily. Even now when the deciphering of the black boxes of the plane
is almost over. Officials, including Armen Smbatyan, kindle such
suspicions. In an interview with the Public Radio Armen Smbatyan said
"there are no suppositions, there is professional work" in answer
to the question "how is the deciphering going on, and what versions
are there?" Armen Smbatyan appears to have lost the ability to judge
logically due to hastiness. In their first year of studies students
of law are taught that investigation is for confirming one out of
many suppositions. Generally, every study is intended to find the
most reliable version. If there is professional work, there must
be suggestions, then the most probable one is chosen. They say a
diplomat’s tongue is for concealing his thoughts. Armen Smbatyan’s
tongue fails: either he is not a diplomat or he is fulfilling someone’s
instructions very badly.
If Ambassador Armen Smbatyan represents Armenia with similar
"professionalism" on different levels and spheres of relations with
Russia, it is painfully clear why, to put it mildly, they persecute
Armenians in Russia, and the relations with Armenia do not go
beyond those with a "fort." But in that case it is not clear what
Armen Smbatyan is busy doing in Moscow with the title "Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary." In civilized countries, even in
those countries where constructive dissent is awarded, the career of
an ambassador, who damages his country’s reputation, is cut suddenly
and forever. In fact, Armenia is not a civilized country in this
respect either.
