THE ONLY WAY TO CURE “HEADACHE”
- To Continue The Process Of Reforms
In response to our questions, MP from “Bargavach Hayastan” fraction, Chair of the standing Committee on the Issues of European Integration Avet Adonts touches upon the responses of the European structures, and the officials of the US State Department regarding the mass disorder in Yerevan.
“The first reaction of the international community and the European structures was naturally going to be negative. What happened was really unprecedented: lots of injured, 8 people died, by the way, not 80, 100 or 200, as it is speculated these days. And after all this, it is impossible to expect other assessments.
It is another issue that these assessments are not always adequate to the reality. And lack of information is also evident. People hear rumors from different sources, which is far from reality. When they familiarize themselves with the real developments of the events their response to what has happened is more reserved and impartial.
For example the Special Representative of OSCE Chairman, Heike Talvitie, visited Armenia he met the President of the Republic, Levon Ter-Petrosyan and leaders of other political powers, after which he drew certain conclusions and by the way his assessment was rather unbiased. We have set a task to provide international organizations with complete information and Foreign Ministry works actively in this direction.
I’m confident at present they have the clear picture of what happened. They know that an uncontrolled, armed crowd resisted the police, something that is more than intolerable for any country. We have seen lots of cases in the same democratic countries, how they treat those who try to resist law enforcement bodies. But in this case we deal with an organized confrontation. It is difficult to call these people opposition. Opposition should not be armed with explosives, iron sticks, guns and grenades. It was a special group with self-made equipments to cause bodily injuries to start “war” with the police. What happened near the Municipality, was before planned and not 10 days back, it was a consequence of many months’ purposeful planning.”
“Is it possible to restore the atmosphere of trust in society, in case when Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s supporters do their best to make the situation more tensed and to intensify the confrontation?”
“Unfortunately they use dirty technologies, which were prepared long before the elections. Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s team masters these technologies. And they are ready to act even in state of emergency, by means of gossips, rumors. And by the way they partially manage to achieve their end. The situation is tight; when you walk in the streets you don’t see smiling faces. And in such circumstances similar rumors spread very swiftly and in many cases people don’t treat them sensibly.”
