“Hraparak” writes in the editorial: “My relative having arrived from Russia tells that “anarchy” rules there. How murders by policemen are veiled “spitting” on people’s faces and how criminals are freed. How Putin’s officials rob the country and any attempt of opposition is suppressed. I told him about the Mashtots Park case, and “Harsnaqar” incident, how people call the oligarch “murderer” not present in a murder and how they finally reached the point that he renounced his NA mandate. My interlocutor said with great amazements: “You managed to build up a civic society.” Of course not, but it’s a fact that something has changed during recent years.
In small countries it’s easier to have impact on the authorities, he said. But it wasn’t easy; we saw the “Aragast” case, fought vainly against closing «Ա1+». Today we cannot fight vote-swags. But there is a change, anyhow. There is a group of intellectuals, who took part in “Harsnaqar” trial process. They are everywhere, when there is a life danger or violated right, even a cut tree or ecological tangle. This “ambulance” will help us from stagnating.
