When will "Liska"s be arrested?

Today in the Court of First Instance of Kentron and Nork-Marash administrative districts the former head of the Social Security Vazgen Khachikyan's and his trials' criminal case started.

Of course, everybody knew about the work of Pension Fund, but for many years that knowledge was accepted in the so called Republic of Armenia as a normal and acceptable reality.

All knew all about the situation, all talked about that, but at the same time together talking and cursing the state, all confirmed, that nothing would change. Khachikyan was Andranik Margaryan's favorite, the bright representative of the Republican Party's youth wing (Ashotyan of that time), he was definitely not alone in that appropriated funds, which would be paid to the appropriate place, and Ishkhan Zakarian's speeches, well, Ishkhan Zakarian's "performsnces", which were not seriously considered, so many people were thinking in this way.

Some time passed, first Khachikyan was fired, but this time there was no hope of any punishment. "Hopes" disappeared because of Vazgen Khachikyan's quite bumptious behaviour. Once Khachikyan was walking, participating in events, even after left Germany, for allegedly therapies.

Under Pension Fund case 8300 people were examined, 53 people were accused and for 13 detention was used as a preventive measure. Vazgen Khachikyan had charge of "owning a total of 260,956,681 money from pension in 2006-2010." Besides, according to the indictment, Vazgen Khachikian fraudulently stole particularly 29 million AMD from the state budget."

Was Vazgen Khachikian panished as an exception, or this is only the first "flower" in a game with already changed rules. 

In case of the first case Vazgen Khachikian's case, perhaps, is not even worth of to be interested in, in the second case, a more interesting situation can be seen in the near future, because the rules of the game have changed based on equality before the law for all, perhaps, is not fair and is not acceptable to have V. Khachikyan in the prison, but Surik Khachatryan the latter was at least charged with 7 crimes, including a rape ...) and other creatures, who is in any way appeared in the pyramid of power.

It is enough to just change the rules of the game and, in the end, "Safe Armenia" can be talked about and to walk towards the "secured Armenia" only with the changed rules of the game. If you steal, then you are a criminal- "you are in prison", you kill, the you are a criminal, if you are a hooligan, you appear in prison, no matter you are a criminal. There are no privileged, no one who violates law, neither ordinary people, nor high officials.
