Often, we are witnessing what is going on in front of the government building or at the National Assembly, when the parliamentarians, our senior officials, are arriving. Their luxurious service cars along with their accompanying motorcade generate a lot of stir around and disrupt the traffic. The security staff sometimes accompanies them to the door and opens the door for them. Recently, we also witnessed how they even press the button of the elevator so that the ‘boss’ would not bother himself doing it. The picture depicts the parking ground near the German Bundestag. Many high-ranking officials are travelling on bikes there. They are quietly arriving, fastening their bikes and go to work. Everything is adapted there for the bike traffic, their route is separated on the road by a special line, and there is a separate light on the traffic lights. People are able directly to enter the underground with the bike. Imagine what would happen to the Bundestag, if all the representatives of the legislative body would have thought like Armenians.
