On January 10 the by-election for the vacant mandate in the National Assembly had a quite different sensitivity compared to the previous elections. A young man was nominated, who is in prison with a senseless accusation; has three children, who theoretically had an opportunity to be free if had won the race. It means that this is the case when the person, who’d run against Nicol Pashinyan during the election race, even the most aggressive enemy of the latter, would take a big responsibility on his conscience. Should he carry this immoral adjective to his name or not especially if you take into account that Pashinyan is deprived of freedom exceptionally because of political grounds and there is no single evidence against him? It is hard to persist that there would be no one in the Republican or Prosperous Armenia parties with the virtues of Ara Simonyan. In our political field there is a wide selection. This down low duty could be given to the Legal State if the leader of the mentioned party hadn’t made a similar step in the past. However, the government bet on the political force, which would comply with the assignment at best by running against Pashinyan. The order was carried out by the leader of the National unity party Artashes Geghamyan. Geghamyan’s party mate and hence NA MP Ara Simonyan is one of the thousands, who’d be pleased by the fact that he’d been chased by the journalists (and in this case quite symbolically they don’t find him). The falsifications, the groups of imbecile young men, Mayor Gagik Beglaryan and Geghamyan through Simonyan did something, which is worse than the behavior of the state and government, which is trying to lock down Pashinyan for 8 years. The cover of Ara Simonyan was used to push Pashinyan to prison. It is very amoral to conduce to the imprisonment of a person. This is a non-written rule, the violators of which destroy themselves. It is naïve to expect that Geghamyan didn’t know that he had done something that the others refused to do. And these others in this case are the government, who didn’t respect Geghamyan so much that pushed him to this step. The role of the National unity party in our political arena likens a story of a not very famous writer. A poor villager man brings his son to the city. One of the merchants promises to hire the boy to work for him at a quite decent salary. The “job” of the boy was to sit on the lap of the merchant and pretend to be his son. And when the merchant wanted to cheat on some customer and sell the low quality good at high price he had to swear on the name of his so-called son. “Let him die if I am telling you a lie,” he would say. The customer would feel uncomfortable for not believing in the merchant. So he had to buy it. As of the government, which keeps such sons under his feet and swears on their names, literally endangers the security of our country. The NKR issue and the regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations don’t cost a nickel and it’s mere time consumption if these norms are violated. The young kids of Armenia, who are supposed to defend the borders of the country don’t get any encouragement out of this. As a rule thousands of people aging 20-25 years do not have a serious education and a permanent job. They work from election to election but the accumulated financial and moral means allow them to live (at that not bad) till the next election cycle. The state has so much morally humiliated these young people that they find themselves useful only when doing such vilified actions. And the state takes a special care of them. They receive everything necessary in order not to think too long when doing something licentious. The opposition of Armenia, in this case the ANC, also has its share of guilt in the fiasco of the January 10 by-election. It is obvious that the opposition has not fully used its capacity. The elections of district #10 were not of comparable scale in order to bring up the lack of resources. I can confidently persist that many people didn’t know that on that day they have to vote for their constituency. There were people, who didn’t even know that Nicol Pashinyan is in the isolation cell. There were people, who had found out of the election on January 9 via phone conversations with their friends and relatives. It is obvious that the opposition didn’t do a serious campaign. It is not quite justified that the government and the mayor of Yerevan specifically made too many efforts to rig the ballots. They falsified as much as necessary. During the re-count it wasn’t hard to notice that Simonyan “exceeded” Pashinyan with only one or two ballots. By the way, NA MP Ara Simonyan is an interesting personage. In his only picture on the internet Ara Simonyan smiles but this person doesn’t even understand his actual plight. He knows that besides the family of Geghamyan and some relatives no one else knows him in Yerevan and especially in Kentron community. Therefore they couldn’t have possible voted for him. His colleagues at the NA also know this. Although Geghamyan publicly disguises this but even he knows this. If you want to know the truth this person is more disgraced than the ones, whose ballots were rigged, who were bribed and who were transported to the precincts to vote for some, who they’d never known. Become an NA MP in this manner, when everybody ambiguously smiles at you is a big stress and supposes to take a serious care of health before going to sleep or eating tomato. In fact, what nonsense is this! The dreadful earthquake in Haiti, hundreds of thousands of victims, women sat near the dead bodies of their children make everybody wake up and become vigilant. There is nothing more valuable than the human life, freedom even if this person is from the National Unity party. The earthquake of Haiti showed that everybody is equal to the nature – the president of Haiti, whose residence equaled the ground level, the head of the UN mission in Haiti, diplomats of other countries, ministers, who have also become victims for the earthquake according to official information. It is so meaningless to waste the life on disgracing each other, depriving each other of freedom. Regardless of whether in prison or in freedom, people are equal at least 8-9 hours a day when they are asleep. Exceptions make the ones, whose conscience is not clean and who are tortured by nightmares. They are equal to others in a shorter period of time. Good night, Mr. Simonyan.
