ISOLATED FOR THE CHANGE OF POLITICAL VIEWS
“Law-enforcement bodies are not charitable organizations, they are power structures”, noted Chairman of the “United Labour Party” Gourgen Arsenian. Note that after April 12-13, 2004 the latter had thanked the law-enforcement bodies for their observant and careful operation. In reply to an A1+ question how he assesses the current work of the police forces Arsenian stated that only the investigation body is competent to answer the question.
On March 1 Gourgen Arsenian was abroad and he learnt about the events in Armenia only from the foreign broadcasts of Public Television. The picture confused him and he could not even imagine what was really going on in his home-country. He could see only part of the events-broken and looted stores, burnt cars… According to Arsenian the whole Armenian Community was shocked. Only back in Armenia could Arsenian realize what had really happened.
Today Arsenian finds it difficult to assess the work of either the opposition or the law-enforcement bodies. Instead, he announces that at the moment in isolation cells there are people who, though accused of criminal offence, are persecuted for changing their political views.
Gourgen Arsenian mentions Sasoun Mikayelian’s case as an example. He reminds about the Republican Party Assembly organized in 2007, when Sasoun Mikayelian welcomed the fact of Serzh Sargssian’s nomination to the post of the President. “He is now under arrest. Doesn’t it mean he has changed his political views?”, wonders Arsenian.
“I can’t believe Karapet Roubinian is a transgressor. I know him well enough not to believe it. Isn’t it strange that such an “Armenia-oriented” and “pro-Armenian” person as Michael Hayrapetian is has to act from underground now?”
“The progress towards democracy that we had made at Parliamentary Elections completely fell to the ground at the Presidential elections”, notices Arsenian regretfully.
