MORAL CRISES

During the last demonstration leader of the neobolsheviks Ter-Petrosyan cynically announced: “During his 10 years term of office he (Robert Kocharyan – L.P.) cut 5 km red tape and rewarded 10 thousand people with medals.
Of course we will not discuss how many centimeters red tape has the first President cut during his notorious years of power, how many places of entertainments has he opened. Of course they will never speak about these topics.
Let’s touch upon the medals given to the participants of Artsakh liberation war, who have always been ignored and disvalued by LTP.
In 1998, the authorities in the person of President Robert Kocharyan put forward the issue of giving at least moral compensation to the participants of Artsakh liberation war – to everyone without any exclusion.
Though logically Levon Ter-Petrosyan should have done it much earlier. Moreover, he likes to sing his own praises, representing himself as a “victorious President”, that during his years of power Armenia restored its lost lands.
During the last 10 years by the decrees signed by Robert Kocharyan 4404 people have been rewarded with the Medals of Braveness, from which 3750 – posthumous.
Thus in the number of those rewarded posthumous the highest index has been recorded in 2002-2003. In 2002 - 2249 liberation fighters were rewarded, from whom 2182 – posthumous, in 2003 – 1264, from whom 1247 – posthumous.
If by speculating the fact of the rewards Levon Ter-Petrosyan hints that by rewarding these people Robert Kocharyan was trying to strengthen his positions, by winning them over before the elections, then we must mentioned that this version is mildly speaking ridiculous.
Moreover, after 1998 the ex-President has rewarded 6958 liberation fighters with Military Service Medals. In this case the overwhelming majority of the rewards were given in 2006-2007, 3752 – in 2006 and 1855 – in 2007. Which means it took place when the President’s term of offices was coming to a close and there is no sense to mention that in this case it would have been really senseless to “touch the hearts” of those guys.
It’s worth mentioning that in 1999 Karen Demirchyan and Vazgen Sargsyan were rewarded with the medals of the Motherland and “Armenia’s National Hero”, about which Levon Ter-Petrosyan over again utters no word.
What does this mean? Not only does Levon Ter-Petrosyan ignore those who have liberated our lands, but he also defames the memory of the liberation fighters, rewarded posthumous.
This is the “moral” value system of the boss of Armenian Pan National Movement. He can easily forget his “friends”. For the realization of his personal goals he can stroll over everything saint.
