    NONO NOT APPOINTED FOR MONEY?

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    The civil society of Armenia celebrates another victory. Gabriel
    Poghosyan nicknamed Nono will not be appointed to the office of
    director of Khosrov reserve.

    Someone considers it a real victory while others say the government
    wanted to display to the world that it takes into account the public
    opinion. But it is noteworthy that the decision not to appoint
    Poghosyan was taken after two international organizations stated to
    suspend the implementation of their programs in the reserve in case of
    Nono's appointment. It means the person was not appointed due to money.

    This brings us to the conclusion that it is possible to influence
    any decision with the help of money. In this task, the international
    organizations can help the civil society which finances reforms in
    many state bodies. Threats to cut funding were enough to make the
    Armenian authorities change their decision.

    However, as a rule the international organizations avoid clash with
    the authorities though in private conversations they may even speak
    about the system of kickbacks. Anyway, part of the money directed at
    reforms, corruption fight, environmental protection and other does
    not reach the target.

    But the citizens of Armenia have lawful ways of influencing the
    government materially, ranging from strikes to protests and civil
    disobedience actions. Along with international organizations which
    announce about suspension of funding of programs the indignant
    citizens of Armenia could refuse to pay ecological fees since they
    are not used effectively.

    Statements or even crowded protests will not produce any results.

    "Material disobedience" is much more effective.
