    NO WORD ON HUMANITY AND DEMOCRACY

    Reading the statements of Russia, the U.S., the European Union and
    Minsk Group co-chairs condemning Ramil Safarov's release, you see the
    world has cardinally changed. The world policy was aimed at the spread
    of democracy and humanity, or at least, it was guided by this slogan.

    Now, these words are not even mentioned in the statements: they
    only dwell on regional stability and likelihood of resumption of
    hostilities. Though the point is about the most anti-human and
    anti-democratic step ever made: glorification of a person who axed
    another person on ethnic grounds.

    If there is no humanity and democracy, on what the world policy is
    built now. This is a very serious issue to be understood by Armenia
    which is facing a choice and needs to choose the best value system
    refusing anti-human cultures, though sometimes we had to take them
    as dominants. But the Christian principles of humanity and equality
    allowed the Armenians to keep their religion for 1700 years being in
    the center of the Muslim world.

    Announcing the policy course towards the European values, Armenia
    seemed to be more than ever closer to the humanity and democracy in the
    country. But here, we find out that these values are selectively used
    in Europe, just as a facade. Sure, the basic principles of democracy
    function in Europe, like those relating to the elections, courts,
    equality and human rights, but Europeans don't think these values
    should be respected out of Europe.

    In the U.S. where the democracy reached significant heights,
    interesting events are happening now. A couple of months prior to the
    presidential elections, Obama's ethnicity is discussed. And they say
    that he has already fulfilled his mission and proved that the most
    discriminated part of the society, the black people, can have their
    president. Now, apparently, it is the turn of another "discriminated"
    part - religious minorities. Mitt Romney needs to prove that a Mormon
    can become the U.S. president. The next election will aim to prove
    the sexual equality in the U.S.

    All this is nice but it is a bit false because the real democracy
    does not suppose for demonstrative steps but real equal competition.

    Humanity supposes for unambiguous assessments.

    Humanity and democracy are in the blood of Armenians, who are not
    bloodthirsty by nature, who prefer peace, intellectual or commercial
    activities, who are used to support each other. But humanity and
    democracy should be supported by the self-esteem and freedom, which
    would allow protecting our own and others' right.
