Secretary of `Justice’ faction Grigor Haroutiunian says.

Everybody agrees that it becomes more and more dangerous to live in
our country even in the afternoon. Both the authorities and opposition
agree with it but their interpretations are too different. They are
different for recorders but during private conversations even
non-oppositionist politicians admit that non-punishment brings new
crimes and this boundless situation will cause very dangerous
developments.

The representatives of both the authority and opposition speak of the
fact that the events and murders in Nor Hachn, `Tetsi-Krug’,
Malatia-Sebastia community, murder of the head of Dalar village have
become a bad habit and it is too dangerous when the problems are
solved by guns. Almost all our interlocutors think that its reason is
the atmosphere on non-punishment and lack of discipline. Leader of
«Republic» Party Aram Sargsian noticed that all the was the result
of atmosphere of non punishment: «There are facts, the police
has caught the person who has killed Tigran, 10 days before the murder
but then set him free. But it is surprising how a person is set free
against whom a criminal case is brought, who has fired at Tigran’s
house for several times.

This is a lack of discipline. Those who have assisted Tigran
Petrosian’s killer are responsible for it». To our observation
that the representatives of authority like to calm people down saying
that crimes happen in every country, Aram Sargsian answered:
«Only in Armenia guilty persons aren’t punished, innocent
people are judged only for the reason that they are oppositionists.’

Secretary of «Justice» faction Grigor Harutiunian said
that they didn’t wonder at such stirring up as the way of acting of
these authorities lead to it: growth of crimes. «We have spoken
about it for many times, it’s the system formed by the authorities,
all these is led and ruled by them, every crime is hidden by just
them. We see after a noisy crime that the criminals are set free very
soon. This is a special policy to spread fear among public. As the
result the part of citizens is disappointed, leave the country; people
say did you see what happened to Tigran, he wanted to live
normally. People won’t dare take any step after it.’ `Nobody was
punished for October 27, – Mr. Harutiunian added. I think nowadays
authority, criminal-oligarchic system is responsible for it and they
will be responsible for it sooner or later. ARF faction leader Hrayr
Karapetian thinks:’ We worry about such criminal situation, and I
think law enforcement agencies should take steps to prevent it’.
