    NEW ORGANIZATION OF PEOPLE WHO CANNOT HEAR

    Lragir.am
    30 March 06

    The split within the Society of People with Hearing Problems in Armenia
    is going on. Moreover, new interesting processes are outlining, which
    may also have a home political context. On March 30 Parthev Muradyan,
    member of the civic action group of the Society of People with Hearing
    Problems, the leader of the so-called opposition of the Society, told
    news reporters about this processes at the Pastark Club. He is not a
    member of the society any more, he was dismissed several months ago,
    but leads the movement of the society members against the present
    leadership of the Society of People with Hearing Problems, namely,
    President Jora Varagyan and his supporters.

    Parthev Muradyan and the oppositionists of the Society complain that
    Jora Varagyan has dissipated the property and money of the Society,
    and is still doing. "Instead of operating the enterprises belonging to
    people with hearing problems Jora Varagyan sold them, thus depriving
    them of the possibility to work," says Parthev Muradyan. His supporters
    say soon they will have to beg. It is not only a social problem but
    also a criminal one. Parthev Muradyan says there is enough evidence
    on illegal sale of the property of the society and appropriation of
    the money by Jora Varagyan.

    A criminal action was suited, however, Parthev Muradyan and his
    supporters are dissatisfied with the investigation. Parthev Muradyan
    says Gharakhanyan, who investigates the case, concludes that there is
    no criminal element in the activity of the president of the Society
    Varagyan. On March 30 he and his supporters sent a letter to the
    Head Public Prosecutor of Armenia, expressing concern about the
    investigation, the possibility that Varagyan will not be punished,
    and calling for the Head Public Prosecutor's personal assistance in
    the investigation and punishment of the guilty. A similar letter will
    be addressed to the president of Armenia.

    Parthev Muradyan does not dare say if the standpoint of the Office
    of Public Prosecutor is biased. But Muradyan hints that one of the
    reasons of the dissatisfaction of the oppositionist people with hearing
    problems can be suspicions about partiality. The oppositionist movement
    led by Parthev Muradyan assures that they will not give up even under
    threat. By the way, in fact, there are threats. Parthev Muradyan
    announced that the present president of the Society of People with
    Hearing Problems threatens the oppositionist members of the society
    with assault, even murder.

    "We are well aware of these threats. But I announce that if anyone of
    us suffered, they would get a due counterblow from where they would
    have never expected," Parthev Muradyan defends himself, announcing,
    however, that they rely on themselves only.

    Parthev Muradyan does not mention either who Jora Varagyan and his
    supporters rely on, but he directly points to the direction where the
    answer to the question could be found. "I did not tell anything before,
    now I say that in the parliamentary election in 2003 Jora Varagyan
    supported the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. Think on the rest
    yourselves," says Parthev Muradyan. He said he had a video of Jora
    Avagyan, asking one of the leaders of ARF in Los Angeles to donate 200
    thousand dollars to the Society. "Then he was told that if he wanted
    the money for the Society he should ask for 1 million 200 thousand
    instead of 200 thousand. And he was refused," said Parthev Muradyan.

    Parthev Muradyan decided that the way out is to open a new organization
    of people with hearing problems. They are going to establish a new
    society of people with hearing problems, temporarily referred to as
    "the Armenian Alliance of People with Hearing Problems." The logo of
    the alliance is the well-known gesture, meaning OK. Parthev Muradyan
    says the Americans have derived this gestures from people who cannot
    hear.
