Republic of Nagorno Karabakh [NKR
And The Swamp Of The Snipes
The Press Secretary of the President S. Farmanyan informed us
yesterday: "According to the December 3 decree signed by President
Serge Sargsyan, three convicts Edward Garnik Ashughyan, Arman
Khachatur Margaryan and Arthur Suren Nazaryan, sentenced to 3-3,5
years imprisonment, for the participation in the March 1 disorder in
Yerevan and showing resistance to the police and other violent actions,
were granted amnesty.
Before taking the decision of granting amnesty, the President took
into account the request for amnesty addressed to the President by
the before mentioned three convicts, the fact that these people have
not been convicted before and many other circumstances linked with
their families.
The President has always been ready to observe the request for
amnesty. And even at present there are no changes in his approach
towards this issue."
Of course the before mentioned will be interpreted by the
neo-Bolsheviks as a consequence of the pressure by international
organizations and European officials.
But it is quite clear that neither the international organizations nor
the European officials have anything to do with this issue. Because
they didn’t ask Edward Garnik Ashughyan, Arman Khachatur Margaryan
and Arthur Suren Nazaryan, to address this letter of request to the
President. So the speculations here are absolutely not proper.
The radicals will always be dissatisfied with all the actions of
the ruling power. What they think is that the more detained, the
better. That is why they raise hullabaloo regarding any issue. Like
the snipes living in the swamp always disapproved of the surrounding,
but after the improvement of the lands they raise uproar. The snipes
can’t help raising uproar. This is their quality. People can think
that they are really disapproved of the swamps. But it is far not
like that, because the snipes understand that their existence is
impossible without swamps.
Thus any person that makes infringement towards the swamp is an enemy.
