When the crimes are rated by double standards

January 20,2015 19:16

We are sick and tired of these tongue twisters, which are diligently repeated especially by the ruling party representatives. The matter is about the widely used assertion of the “offender has no nationality”, which was recently added by a new provision that the offender has no religion. Well, then how it happened that another (let’s take Ramil Safarov’s case) offender had a nationality, and with and without any reasons, it was constantly emphasized with favorite expression of nationalists: “Turk is a Turk”. Well, let me bring another example away from us, the event in Paris, when the offenders had both nationality and religion. Maybe the offenders stop having a nationality and religion when they are representatives of the strategic partner? Hence, in fact, those reiterating such tongue twisters are the ones who politicize this crime, and make calls for others to refrain from it.

Simultaneously, another tongue twister is put into circulation, “no need to be guided by emotional motivations” in the Armenian-Russian relations, and/or this slaughter should not be made serving the disruption of the Armenian-Russian relations. And in amazing coincidence, those who say so are the very ones who due to another massacre wrecked the Armenian-Hungarian relations. People who previously (let’s say, after the murder of Hrant Dink) were working for the protest to obtain an organized character, now, are talking against spontaneous protest.

In short, the representatives of these days ruling party do not succeed to bring such a successful argument with regard to their response to Gyumri events for not to deserve for an adequate counterargument. Which was done for instance by Argishti Kiviryan who posted in the “Facebook”. The representative of a nation mourning the genocide for 100 years is saying, “We do not have the culture of mourning and commemoration.” In fact, within this subject, it’s worthwhile quoting also Samvel Martirosyan post, “The offender has no nationality.

The terrorist has no nationality.

The ambassador has no nationality.

The consul has no nationality.

The tram has no nationality.

Тhe bedside table has no nationality.

The mixed-greens has no nationality.

The toilet bowl has a nationality,

It is either Czech or Finnish by origin.”

… But in response to the questions about their double response pertaining to the crimes, the ones who rule just tell us not to compare them. While, if judging by non-political criteria, the incident in Gyumri was more cruel, inhuman and inexplicable, because there is no more heinous crime than killing a child.
