    DISGUSTING OR CRIMINAL?

    On January 22, meeting with the members of the Supervisory Chamber and
    speaking about the impermissibility of abuse, Serge Sargsyan stated
    that an official wasting the public means has to get the public pity.

    "Much can be forgiven to officials, but an official who "touches"
    public means is the most disgusting person for the society", said
    Serge Sargsyan.

    At first instance, it seems quite a just and strict assessment for
    the phenomenon of wasting public means. But when you try to assess
    this evaluation from the point of law and right, the image comes out
    to be different.

    What means to be disgusting for the society? And what if we say that
    the society does not feel disgust towards such an official. So what?

    The disgust of the society cannot be a measurement for assessing a
    criminal. There is only one measurement-the law. And an official who
    "touches" public means is a criminal "touching" public means is a
    crime which is to be punished by the law.

    Notable, that the government, making the public's disgust a
    measurement of assessing a crime, takes up its favorite way to put
    the responsibility on the public. Since the society does not feel
    disgust towards these officials, they calmly abuse public means. Let
    the society feel disgust towards the officials for them to be ashamed
    of misusing.

    This is from the series when it is the society to sell its votes during
    elections, and not the governmental groups to buy them, or it is the
    society to be responsible for the corruption because it gives bribes,
    and not the officials who take them.

    The society's behavior, its self-conscience, legal perception, and
    values are very important for the administration of a country. But
    when all this is not on a necessary level to get the necessary level,
    the quality of administration is to be changed, but not to say that the
    society is to be changed. Consequently, not the love or the disgust of
    the society is to be proclaimed the measurement for administration,
    but the law is to be made such. For lawful atmosphere the disgust of
    the society is not necessary to be a measurement. In such a case, the
    disgust will just be reciprocal and that is all. Such an atmosphere
    is to be created when a criminal will feel disgust towards the crime
    because it will bring them to rather "disgusting" conditions of life.
