Today for every reasonable person
it is obvious that our state is in deep crisis. ARF representative a few days ago
Armen Rustamyan, speaking at the National Assembly, called the situation in the country a “nightmare”
gave the description. And, indeed, the population of Armenia is in a state of alarm,
in a state of despair, hopelessness, which seems like mental peace
be the interpretation of the terrifying dreams of a lost person. Independence Quarter
century was enough time for the public to avoid such a prospect,
and Armenia would meet the minimum conditions to be called a state. However
instead of all that today, a solid representative of the hundred-year-old party
from the lips we hear a definition with which it is impossible to disagree.

Regardless of the availability of such an estimate, today
many citizens ask questions: who is to blame for the situation in the country?
why did it happen, how to get out of these political and economic crises and?
etc. Certainly, such questions are also asked by those who talk about the nightmare
the deputy, his party friends, the ruling party, RPA, as well as the opposition party
representatives of units, officials of different caliber. State present
and their concern for the future seems to be genuine. But only the first
it is from the look. Reality is completely inconsistent with ours
to the ideas, because of the role and significance of the state, its own in the state
the perception of place and position among those people is completely different. To understand it
so it is enough to follow the thoughts of the deputy who openly expresses himself
is about the public nightmare.

Speaking from the NA podium in defense of RA
presidential candidate Armen Sargsyan (who was elected hours after Rustamyan’s speech
in that important position), the politician representing the ARF considered it necessary
to defend Sargsyan to claim the highest state position in the country
the right to be elected. According to Rustamyan, we are dealing with Armen Sargsyan
specifically with an Armenian man who expressed his desire to strengthen the country, however
instead of supporting it, many cite some legal restrictions
and definitions that do not allow the given person to be elected as the President of the Republic of Armenia
in office. According to the ARF deputy, the RA Constitution, laws,
various types of documents prescribed to fulfill the requirements of the legislation
are of secondary importance compared to the individual of the Armenian nation who fills the country
with the determination to strengthen. According to Rustamyan, “Let’s give the person a chance instead, good
we wish to march, we show reluctance. Now there is one – that person is us
will lead, the Bible says: really pray for your master, because
He decides your fate, no matter how bad he is, but it’s in his hands
to be the “yes” and “no”, “right” and “wrong” of this country
lever. Let’s make it so that that person can do it in a good mood
to come in and get the country out of this difficult psychological situation…”

Illegal persons around us today
the neglect of the activity is done from these same positions. In corruption
the hundreds of soaked officials, influencing the electoral process
the authorities, the nimble persons arranging their lives under the roof of the oligarchy
are the same Armenian people who “their skills and abilities
want to invest” in the welfare of the state and society. Aren’t they?
they have education, knowledge, years of experience and, after all, they are Armenian people. Whether a judge or a police officer, a tax inspector or a senior professional, they work according to
of their abilities and capabilities, want to see empowered
their state, but sometimes allow illegal acts because
that legalese is just a piece of paper, some law that matters
giving, should the environment have to give up these people’s patriotism?
from the service.

According to Rustamyan’s logic, it is obvious that if
In the case of the RA presidential candidate, the Constitution is just a piece of paper
the criminal code also needs a piece of paper for the prosecutor and the police
be considered, it cannot be otherwise. And, therefore, the prosecutor without any conscience
a thief can take a bribe, and a policeman can torture the inept, the smart ones
allowing them to pay for their crimes
not suffer or suffer a punishment totally inadequate to the criminal act. All this
philosophy, in fact, not two fundamentals of the legal state
It is a violation of the principles of rule of law and equality before the law
implies, but in general rejection of the law and the state.

It seems that the author of my lines is not the person who
should explain to Armen Rustamyan that the state has two pillars,
without which there cannot be any kind of state. Without the law and without
any public-political organization of the court loses state
its essence of being a structure. Be it a dictatorship or an oligarchy, a monarchy,
or a republic, all operate under laws that serve their own group interests
and under the court. However, only the Armenian representing the centenary party
in the speech of a politician, one can come across the absurdity according to which the law
it’s just a piece of ordinary paper, compared to which an Armenian with the desire to strengthen the country
the individual has priority.

The Constitution of the people, qualified as a “piece of paper”.
it is the expression of the will raised to the level of law. RA in the Basic Law
defining the separate censors and election procedure for the presidential candidate
the provisions are one of the concrete manifestations of that will, and any Armenian individual, be he
kind, smart, good guy, have beautiful eyes, powerful connections, accumulated billions,
be a superman or ignited by a burning desire to build the state,
all the same, he cannot oppose his individual will to the will of all of us
thus replacing an entire state.

The judgments presented above can
to raise specific questions. That is, if some individual, the law “on a piece of paper”
turning, assumes the position of RA president and thereby makes it null and void
the existence of the state, and the political units vote for it, then how?
is that despite the degree of decline and the current crisis, on the international stage
the activity is carried out by the Republic of Armenia. How do they work?
the newly elected president Armen Sargsyan, the administration of Serzh Sargsyan and the RPA
led by the key players in the political life of the state:
the parties are led by the ARF, the state bodies are the same
along with corrupt judges and prosecutors, etc.

The NA gives a very clear answer to these questions
Deputy Armen Rustamyan in his speech in question: the situation created in the country
describing a nightmare. The faces talking about the decline and crisis of the country today
they have been doing that for a long time, which deepens the same decline, crisis and
turns the state into a nightmare. And they do it with absolute cynicism, destroying
the state from the foundation, turning the law into a “piece of paper”. The country is engulfed in crisis
the irony that has come to all of us is that the MP speaks from the podium
from the scourge raging in the state and the fight against it, of the state
from being, from the fourth republic, from the institution of the president, not to see
giving the fact that he is the author and perpetrator of the nightmare, because of the state
by denying the existence of law in life, he is the one who opens the door to the unfolding of the nightmare
the field, it is he who destroys the state and all the institutions in it.

Today, all the deputies of the National Assembly are many
they know what they are doing. in their opinion, the role of the state and
the significance is only to create a foothold for themselves in that state and
it is an opportunity to escape two pennies in the current stateless relations
the belief in fixing their positions. There is fertile soil for that, rooted in us
the realization that customary settings and traditional household
relationships have priority over the state. What state?
law, what kind of state court, if “that person is going to lead us”, and if?
In this regard, even the Bible says: “indeed pray for your Lord,
because he decides your fate, no matter how bad he is, but his
“yes” and “no”, “right” and “wrong” of this country will be in his hands. the important thing
that our master is an Armenian man, and for that we should already give glory to God.
