    LOSING COURAGE
    Aram Abrahamian

    01 Sept 06

    Our newspaper is sometimes accused of «losing courage of
    people'. We don't have a mission to inspire or despair people, we
    simply inform people and note its reasons. Let me give some examples:

    We wrote in our yesterday issue that the hot weather would stay some
    more days. There is no inspiring element in that news. We'd like to
    write that tomorrow the weather will be fine and cool, it would be
    better for us to write that neither hot summer nor cold winter will be
    in Armenia. But that optimism will oppose the reality, laws of nature,
    hydrometeorology's forecast.

    We have written for many times, normal elections won't be held for the
    present generation. The reason of this affirmation is the following:
    there are several `gegham badalian' in every polling station, such a
    person who is supported by the ruling clique, rob, engages in
    different illegal activities, is ready to fire and kill once in 4-5
    years, rig the elections in favor of the authority. The whole state,
    especially power system supports those persons.

    Decades must pass to change that situation as neither «political will
    of the ruling clique» nor«people's revolt» will solve the problem.

    Today is September 1. Senior pupils will go to school several weeks
    then each of them will attend their private classes. It's also a
    public regularity the reason of which is the lack of `stationary'
    school, which is replaced by ` tutorial» one.

    However strange it is, second and third problems are connected with
    each other. If there is any hope something will be changed during
    decades, it will be done by improvement of new generation, new
    citizens, and new culture. So don't lose courage.
