IN NORMAL COUNTRIES THERE WOULD BE RESIGNATIONS

With regard to the shooting in one of the streets in Yerevan and
the woman killed by a stray bullet Ararat Zurabyan, All-Armenian
Movement leader, said first the head of fish decays. According to
him, in a tiny country like Armenia the head of the police knows
everyone’s habits. However, "the situation does not allow him
to change anything." This situation is, according to the AAM, the
consequence of the atmosphere in the political, economic and all the
other spheres. "One cannot feel safe even at daytime because one may
encounter an incident despite everything," says Ararat Zurabyan.

Giving his condolences to the family of the killed woman, Ararat
Zurabyan notes that in a normal country and society there would be
resignations, visits to the family of the victim, words of comfort,
lending a hand. It is not so here. There are not even condolences.

Ararat Zurabyan says gangs have emerged in Armenia, who have no
restrictions. "Considering the passivity of the relevant agencies,
the Police, etc., an uncontrollable situation has occurred. I would
not like to draw parallels, but people say, this country needs
Vano, and the situation is unbearable," reports Ararat Zurabyan
and reminds about the time, when Vano Siradeghyan was the minister
of internal affairs. "There was shooting, cars were stolen, it was
terrible, the police were afraid to go out to the street, nobody was
insured. Siradeghyan managed to establish order in a very short period
of time," reminds Ararat Zurabyan. According to Ararat Zurabyan, a
member of the same party as Vano Siradeghyan, quick establishment of
public order did not involve 100 percent compliance with the laws, but,
"I can state for sure that the laws are not observed by 100 percent
in any country. But we managed to establish law and order. There
were no criminal strongmen in Yerevan, they were in prison on
outside Armenia. Children wanted to be policemen, not a strongman
or bodyguard," says the leader of the All-Armenian Movement. "The
government would no way have relations with a criminal. Nobody can
say that the minister of internal affairs Vano Siradeghyan dined with
criminal strongmen," states Ararat Zurabyan and reports the current
situation. "We have witnessed and read in the press for a number of
times, that Serge Sargsyan, or someone else dined together, greeted
or saw away," says Ararat Zurabyan. And for a general comparison of
the AAM and the present government, he proposes to compare the past
and the present parliaments.
