TEST BY THE WIND
- … In children's hospital, for example, there was no the elementary fuel engine, which could supply an electricity. In many objects there were no elementary fire-prevention means: a shovel, sand, etc. At the same time it is necessary to note farourably the help and actions of military subdivisions and subdivisions of services of extreme situations. The municipality's potential, both technical and human, has been mobilized operatively. Certainly, it is necessary to give due also to the management of the republic. The same day the management, by the head of the President, from early morning has got acquainted with the situation in capital, having visited the objects of vital importance, as well as the most suffered buildings and streets. Then they have left for Martuni, Hadrut and Askeran regions. During the conversation with the President B.Sahakian, on my question how did the republic withstand the test of natural calamity, the President answered : "Generally, it is possible to ascertain, that both the management of the republic and corresponding institutions reacted operatively on such unprecedented disaster. This rigid, even severe practical examination revealed weak sides of all spheres of our activity. It revealed not only economic and organizational omissions, but also our positive achievements. I am satisfied with the actions of military subdivisions,services of extreme situation and fire-prevention.. I'm dissatisfied with a condition of communication:the question has been arisen, why in such situations when an electricity is turned off, it is impossible to take an advantage of a radio communication for maintaining relations with population? It is inadmissible to leave population alone with natural or other calamity. The authority is obliged to support citizens, my decision is conditioned by it " to be next to people either in capital, or in Martuni, or in villages. …The most important for us is the moral-psychological condition of people, it should not be depressed." "I operate and I shall operate following this principle, namely: people should feel and trust, that they are always in the focus of the authorities attention, in their care - here I want to emphasize -in fair care of authorities... " Then the President mentioned today's the most urgent question. "The care, attention and validity really appear only in conditions of reciprocity. How much these principles are obligatory for the management of the country, so they are obligatory for citizens. The only difference is, that an initiative and first steps should proceed from authority. At present it is mentioned, that some part of the population, may be majority, incorrectly understand a role of the state in questions of rendering assistance to citizens suffered from disaster, basically this is restoration or repair houses' roofings. Even rich states are not available to take completely on themselves the expenses on rendering assistance to those, who suffer from disaster We are not a rich country, besides, we have military problems with the neighbour state… So the state is obliged to support those, who are dissatisfied. Prosperous farmers, rich men should not only hope for the state, and are obliged to assist their neighbours. All these are consequences of absence of ideological and propaganda activities with a society. In a society a principle of SOCIAL SOLIDARITY should be urgently input". "I must emphasize, - said the President in the end, - that all responsible persons who are guilty for neglects towards their direct duties, they will be fairly punished Especially it concerns the building organizations, firms and officials. Till now I cannot calm down from that fact, that the wind has torn down roofings of those houses, which had been repaired the year, two or three ago, and furthermore newly built buildings … "
