BY ALL THE RULES OF "WITCH-HUNT"

No one is likely not to know the essence of the concept of "witch-hunt". But this process has a number of peculiarities, which we are following in Armenia today. First, the hunt begins at the time when the attention of the society is necessary to be distracted from some important things and people need to be given opportunities to "exhaust their anger", even not understanding the reasons for their indignation. Indeed, there is much to resent for in Armenia. The situation in the country reminds a chaos. The International Monetary Fund states that the Armenian government is unable to pay salaries and pensions, and the budget will not be completed until the end of the year. The government does not respond to this deadly accusation, continuing to strengthen its external debt. The Control Chamber reveals glaring facts that indicate that only the prosecutor\'s office is not robbing the budget. But after the "restoration" the historical monuments stop being monuments, communal lands are sold for pennies, and the ballet "Sayat Nova" has not been staged, despite the fact that it was paid for. The oppositional parliamentary members reveal the "secrets" of the activities of the Armenian delegations to international organizations, and the government is unable to "turn the March 1 page". In general, if we observe everything, we will have to admit that not only the law, but also the moral norms and criminal rules are not working in the country. How may the government hide this from the public? Only by sending this energy to the "witches". The second obligatory attribute to the "witch-hunt" is the patriotic topic. There are several "untouchable" topics in Armenia, about which there cannot be other opinions. For example, the Karabakhi people. In Armenia, it is a rule of a good-natured tone to swear at the Karabakhi people. This rule is subject to even the Karabakhi people themselves, and nobody dares not to answer with a smile to a good joke about the Karabakhi people. But it is good. But Karabakh is so serious. And anyone, who dared to ask the Azeris for signatures, will be damned for ever. Few people in Armenia, dares to state publicly that there is nothing wrong in dealing with the Azerbaijanis there. And the third rule: yet the witch is a woman, to soak in the porch is not good, so the best is just to build a fire, according to the best traditions of obscurantism and the Inquisition.
