    THE "MODEL" OF THE STATE
    Aram Abrahamian

    Aravot (Morning), Armenia
    Sept 27 2005

    Nobody will be beaten in the coming parliamentary and presidential
    elections, the activists of the opposition won't be taken to
    Police, ballot boxes will be filled a little and numbers won't be
    drawn. At the same time those elections will be too far from European
    standards. Violence against the voters is in the second plan in modern
    Armenian "technologies". Power and administrative levers came to the
    first plan and certainly money.

    In that case elections held in the Kentron aren't specific. Here
    the DPA chose a wrong strategy from the beginning not nominating a
    person who has experience of economic and administrative activities but
    chose our colleague Rusan Khachaturian who yields the current district
    ruler by objective showings. Beglarian's victory was natural that is
    he would win without using the above-mentioned levers and without
    bribing the voters. And it doesn't have reasonable explanation why
    it did in the Kentron somewhere.

    The "model" of our state was seen more clearly in the elections of
    Arabkir. Both candidates Hovhannes Shahinian and David Gyulumian could
    work theoretically as a district ruler. But ULP party which was for
    D. Gyulumian refused of the fight before the elections. It happened
    so as Serge Sargsian and Alraghaci Lyov assisted H.

    Shahinian and on the other hand the criminals of the community,
    "district authorities". The ULP leader Gurgen Arsenian is a big
    businessman consequently he has something to loose from both sides.

    On the one hand the authority can examine his business in the way that
    if it isn't closed it will loose. On the other hand the hooligan of
    the district may explode his cars, for example.

    And what about the people? A white microbus 67ss653 by numbers stopped
    in front of my building. Young people "with convincing appearance"
    came out from the car with the lists in their cars. My neighbors sat
    into that microbus, in particularly old people. They went for voting
    after which the same bus gave them back.

    Here in this way, without any violence, with flower branches in
    their hands our voters would go and say, "yes" to the constitutional
    amendments and then they will give their votes to the candidates of
    the authority in the parliamentary and presidential elections.
