I am afraid that my point of view is again not in the common “trend”, but it does not seem so nice to me to “smear” the already detained general for self-establishment and for trying to collect points, in the case when he will surely receive his just punishment. If you are that “bold”, talk about those who are on the “saddle”.
On March 29, last year, “Aravot” published an article on how the Judicial Acts Compulsory Enforcement Service officer Gagik Sakhoyan did not comply with the court’s decision for four years, until the organization, “Gapbnakshin”, that had to pay 59.6 million drams to a citizen, was declared bankrupt and avoided paying. Of course, no state body responded to our publication in any way. I do not think that the Judicial Acts Compulsory Enforcement Service avoided implementing the court’s decision for “free of charge”, I do not think that Sakhoyan was acting alone, and I do not think that is the only and largest case. However, the former head of the Judicial Acts Compulsory Enforcement Service is now a promising legislator and has definitely voted for the arrest of General Manvel. Thanks God he has not made speeches full of enthusiasm. In general, how many baked meat cans can be bought with tens of millions of dollars of suspicious origin in offshores?
Of course, emotionally, stealing boxes with children’s letters addressed to soldiers causes huge shock and anger. But is the official who, for example, has won his own set tender under someone else’s name, and appropriating taxpayers’ money did not fulfill the conditions of the competition for “objective reasons”, less blasphemer? The money that he has appropriated is not our children’s money?
By the way, the army, as a major beneficiary of the state, should be searched in a thorough manner. It is easy to criticize General Manvel now, but what about Haykaz Baghramyan? What about Yuri Khachaturov, who is now a high-ranking international official? What about the other generals? As a start, arresting Manvel is not bad, but the society wants a fast continuation.
Yesterday, a woman sat beside me in the subway and asked, “When are they going to arrest Shmays?”.
