TO:THE PRESIDENT OF RF V. V. PUTIN
In January, 2003, I turned to you regarding the actions of some officials whose activity can take the relationships between Moscow and some countries of CIS to crisis. There was a prognosis regarding the relationships with Georgia, Moldavia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Armenia-Nagorno-Karabagh conflict, which is more painful to me. I put the blame for all of this on governors and their trustees. Meantime, we are going to encounter such strategic problems, like Caspian oil pipe line and gas pipe line issue. I think, there are the same problems in Ukraine as well, where anti Russian sentiments are going to increase.
After my letter, by the efforts of some political Lilliputians, I was arrested. DEP FSS of RF turned to the investigative service of FSS with operative information stating that I am one of the leaders of criminal international group, and have relationships with the bosses of mafia from Corsica to Cyprus and if I stay in freedom, the diplomatic relationships between Russia and Armenia will get destroyed. The creators of this "detective topic" was the leadership of Armenia. I got acquainted with these documents.
Officially, the reason of my arrest was the accusation of contraband. The close friend of my family didn’t declare the money during the flight from Moscow to Yerevan. After the repeated interrogatories within 9 months(attempt of suicide, Psychiatric hospital) he gave a testimony that I gave him the money and asked him intentionally not to declare the money and added that at the passage through VIP they check very slightly. This was the base of the accusative conclusion of contraband. This episode was classified as a "contraband in extremely big amount". A contrabandist, who transfers drugs, weapons, is considered to be less dangerous, then a passenger who, because of run of time, didn’t declare the money. Damage towards Russia and its citizens doesn’t exist. Perhaps, that’s why the Prosecutor asked a punishment in term of 7 years. The disposition of the article prescribes deprivation of freedom in terms of 7-12 years. Golovinski court of Moscow brought in the verdict of not guilty. But the executors weren’t satisfied with this, as it would mean that I was kept in Lefortovo illegally. State court of Moscow, being in "despair", sent the case for the new review of law. Why in "despair"? Because I must be informed of the date, place and the subject of the hearing beforehand. While I was informed of it only after the hearing of the process.
There are different types of methods. It is not necessary to have direct evidence for the verdict. Sometimes it is enough to disseminate fake information which will influence the decision of the Judge.
These presumptuous executors think that they can rule the fates of people and even nations. Economy and international relationships get destroyed because of such activity. It is possible to restore the economy and the welfare of people, while it is impossible to root out the international conflict. What’s going on now between Russian and people from the Caucasus?. The whole world became our enemy. People living in the Caucasus do hate each other and everybody realizes that this is the guilt of the governors and their trustees. 60 percent of the population in Armenia has left the country. Emigrants are struggling for elementary survival. They are humiliated, put in jail because of a sell of air tickets, they are accused of assisting terrorism. Armenia doesn’t provide them with legal protection. Do these governors, who don’t have dignity for their nation, can be worthy leaders and political partners.
Unfortunately, any problem in Russia and not only in Russia, is solved by making law more severe. Every citizen of Russia is glad to have a powerful and faithful president. But when a political figure(Grizlov) declared for more then 300 deputies(I apologize in front of the deputies who are not in that list) that they will support any candidate represented by the President in 3 years, it reminds me of the horse of Rhome Imperator, which has a right of voice in Senate, as it was the wish of the Imperator. These "people" fill order for lifetime. They get power by accident and have one method of work-Stalin method. Weak people either are killed or sent to jail without a reason. These methods will take the country to a very sad end
It is proper to a man to cover up the action of the members of his team. However, this kind of actions of the head of the country can bring to a very painful situation for the country.
My request to you is connected with the law enforcement bodies and justice, as life, more or less, has taught us to understand people, who, being in despair, fill order against their will. We can at least admire genius of lawyers, who edited the content of the article about the motives of imprisonment.
The person, who didn’t declare the money, is in freedom. I pray he wouldn’t be sentenced to imprisonment. I have a condescending attitude towards the witnesses as well, as I don’t have a right to blame people, who, in order to survive, behaved themselves unfaithful towards my personality. I don’t have anything against those people, who gave a testimony while being in a frustrating situation and generals who became private. I have questions only to those people, who are guilty for my arrest and have immense power.
I am asking you to help me regarding two questions. First-There are the copies of the letters in the criminal case addressed to a company which is in Check Republic which involved in the signatures of leaders of Gazprom as well. Originals of these letters are in Check Republic. I am asking you to help me in obtaining the expertise of these signatures, so in future the case won’t be given a political color. Second-When I was getting acquainted with the criminal case, I learned that I was fired before 2 days of my arrest. Doesn’t it remind you of Stalin period.?
Before my arrest I was the head of the Russian delegation on Human rights in France. After my return, the members of the commission came to you together with the solicitation for granting me a rang of first class. This day coincided with the day of my dismissal. My lawyer possesses the authentic copies of these documents. This issue is of a moral importance to me.
After the first letter I am sure that you will receive this information with the distortion of the content, if you receive it at all. I dictated the text to my lawyer, so you can receive the information through NGOs and Mass media.
Sincerely
- Khachatryan A. Sh.
