The first trial session on May 1 on the case of March 1, when the chief accused was the second president of Armenia, was noisy.<\/p>\n
The process of the session, with homogeneous terminology and a gloomy atmosphere, for the most part, did not give the media an opportunity to actively cover. It was even more interesting to watch what was going on at the court entrance and in the yard.<\/p>\n
There were Robert Kocharyan\u2019s supporters, mostly carrying expensively printed posters, different people who were shouting \u201cNikol, Prime Minister\u201d or \u201cFreedom,\u201d groups of journalists, who were searching for a leader to speak to for their reportage, and there was a Vardges Gaspari, a man who always carried out his political protests alone. <\/p>\n
\nAnd hence he became the reason for the most sensitive news topic, which overshadowed Kocharyan\u2019s \u201calliance of supporters\u2019\u201d show of support.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
During the trial, Gaspari was subjected to violence. Kocharyan\u2019s supporters struck him in the court building with a bottle and grabbed his handwritten poster, on which was written \u201cRobbie Assassin, Robbie Scoundrel!\u201d<\/p>\n
Gaspari continued his protest without a poster in the yard in front of the eyes of more journalists, referring to his broken cheekbone and addressing everyone to respect human dignity.<\/p>\n
Gaspari is a phenomenal person in post-Soviet Armenia. For many years, he initiated and implemented solitary protests, which, in the eyes of many were doomed to fail.<\/p>\n
One person who turns to desperate measures, lying down on the ground, posters held to his chest or talking about injustice, has always been perceived as a marginal, semi-insane individual.<\/p>\n
\nHe was beaten, humiliated, imprisoned, mocked, ridiculed, beaten again, insulted, sent to a psychiatric clinic (in continuing the traditions of Soviet punishment), and he came, again and again, laying down, standing silently, or shouting, but he wasn\u2019t \u201cdisciplined,\u201d and he didn\u2019t reconcile. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
He simply said what he considered to be right, did what he found to be right.<\/p>\n
And for all this, he responded with his own body, more accurately he paid with bodily injuries, but he never attacked, he didn\u2019t resort to physical violence.<\/p>\n
He knows that it will not help the pyramid-semi-governmental system. <\/p>\n
Such systems, like Gaspari, cannot accommodate people in their logic code, it is always out of the ordinary because it has not been heard or put in place before. It was accepted to take into account \u201cserious\u201d people, that is, those with connections and money. And Gaspari is not only not \u201cserious,\u201d but he is also not afraid of not being \u201cserious.\u201d <\/p>\n
On May 13, the situation changed dramatically, and Gaspari\u2019s incident gained development and a criminal case was initiated on the charges of violence against him. Several people were required to provide explanations, including the owner of Channel 5.<\/p>\n
\nBut with an ironic twist of destiny, Vardges Gaspari\u2019s name is now inseparable from Robert Kocharyan\u2019s name, because all search engines have unwittingly turned them into two actors of the newsflow. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Kocharyan, who is identified with a powerful media and financial backdrop, is being tried for the first time and Gaspari has done so many times.<\/p>\n
Kocharyan is a \u201cserious\u201d man, with money, links, his connections and money weighing heavily, an advocate of being closed, and Gaspari has nothing to do with any of it.<\/p>\n
Kocharyan is identified with a punishing-thieving gang and Gaspari is a \u201cvirus\u201d of the system that has deprived the individual of the system for many years (it doesn\u2019t matter what kind) the system ignores his steps (even if he said, speak to me in the plural You and not you).<\/p>\n
The system ignored him and humiliated him, considered him as illogical, senseless, but now it has to admit that it has fallen in the end.<\/p>\n
Even if it\u2019s only because the news is Gaspari and not the other one.<\/p>\n
