    Don't forget officer's dignity

    Yerkir/Arm
    24 June 05

    As reported earlier, on June 21, Pavel "Aparantsi Pavlik" Manukian
    was rushed to a Stepanakert hospital after sustaining severe beating.

    Manukian was running for the Karabakh National Assembly from the
    ARF-Movement 88 bloc, and is a renowned veteran of the Artsakh
    liberation war.

    After recovering in the hospital, Manukian said he was beaten in the
    office of the NKR defense minister. He also said that Defense Minister
    Seyran Ohanian and Deputy DM Samvel Karapetian struck the first blows
    knocking him down and then other military officers joined in.

    The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Artsakh Central Committee
    has demanded that the NKR president fire all the high-ranking officers
    involved in the incident. Requests for an impartial investigation of
    the incident have also been sent to the president of the Republic of
    Armenia, military prosecutor and other governmental agencies.

    It remains to see what results the investigation would bring. But
    one thing is clear outright: it was a low act unfit for a military
    officer. Armenian army officer's honor is not in the number of stars
    on epaulettes or the office he holds.

    Since when is it a "bravery" for Armenian men to attack when
    outnumbered? Our enemies, not combat friends, should give us
    opportunity to use our bravery. Is it possible you have forgotten who
    our enemy is? Or maybe office and interest make forget friendship so
    quickly? If yes, then we all have been punished.
