FAILED TO UNDERSTAND
`HAYOTS ASHKHARH'
14 July 07
Touching upon the latest preventive announcement made by Council of
Europe Secretary General Terry Davis about not recognizing the results
of NKR presidential elections one of Nagorno Karabakh MPs recorded
half-serious, half-joking, `Even from his name you can guess that he is
an imperfect person and he doesn't have any idea about politics' (the
word `tery' means imperfect in Armenian).
The before mentioned observation of the MP turned out to be a
vulnerable affront for the national dignity of the Armenian Pan
National Press representative. Yesterday he asked Tigran Torosyan to
evaluate this disgraceful reality, when the Karabakh MP preferred to
speak his mind, instead of using diplomatic gestures and round-about
formulations, by the way, we should repeat, in a half-serious,
half-joking manner.
Anyway the Speaker of the National Assembly gave a very-very serious
explanation to this issue, ` Everyone is free to speak his mind, or
even abuse. Everyone acts the way he considers right, or within the
framework of his imagination. But I would like to remind something
about Terry Davis, especially when he was a reporter. It was at that
time when a formulation was included in the resolution regarding
Nagorno Karabakh that you can't find in any international document.
Two clauses were clearly enshrined in that resolution - a) that the
territory, in that case Karabakh, can gain independence by democratic
methods, which means, in case of the population's support, b) none of
the Council of Europe member country is allowed to annex a country that
is separated from another Council of Europe member country. In my view
it is a very important formulation. You can't find any clause in any
other international document where it is recorded that Karabakh can be
separated from Azerbaijan. I don't mean that we should take all the
announcements made by the leaders of international organizations as the
highest instance truth, but abuse and insult are not the best ways to
resolve issues. This is my approach.'
We should only regret that, as a rule, Speaker of the National
Assembly keeps stone silence when the representatives of the radical
opposition regularly discredit `the leaders of Karabakh clan'.
In their turn the representatives of the press belonging to Armenian
Pan National Movement never feel ashamed when they damage the
reputation of the first figure of the country, the President, by the
way using all the luxury of bad language. Moreover they disseminate it
with great pleasure.
