Usually when a politician has no more to tell the society, there
is nothing he can do but to start performing tricks. Minister of
Defense Serge Sargsyan, who has found himself in a similar situation,
decided from out of nowhere that he must get hold of the post of the
next president of Armenia.
Since this person perfectly knows his abilities, authority and
resource, he also knows the real outcome of the upcoming presidential
election, where he is sure not to get anything. So he knows that he
lost in the very beginning, therefore he decided to cheat the nation
again by hindering elections in Armenia. In other words, he wants
to replace elections by some other event, where he can beat everyone
and first of all the Armenian public.
Most probably, someone has told him that the political sphere can be
replaced by a chessboard to manipulate all the symbols and round up
the bulk of the political (i.e. criminal) elite under his flag. Serge
Sargsyan believed in the wonderful effect of political technology.
Most probably, however, he believed that the Club of 50 Loyal Officials
is able to replace elections in Armenia with a game of cards with
Serge Sargsyan's 100 percent victory.
The debut was good. The talented Armenian chess players did not let
him down in the Chess Olympiad. Real mysticism. It seemed to Serge
Sargsyan that the political world was replaced by a chessboard. And
there is only one thing to do - to play cards on that chessboard.
And the game started. The victory on the Chess Olympiad was declared
"the beginning of victories". In other words, the native and foreign
criminal was let know that it is high time to become members of Serge
Sargsyan Club.
The corrupt Armenian officials and criminal businessmen started
creeping towards this club. They moved on but with a feeling of fear,
hiding behind one another. They do not believe that the political
sphere can be replaced by a chessboard. Moreover, they do not believe
that it is possible to play cards on a virtual chessboard and win.
They want a more simply thing. For instance, they want Robert Kocharyan
to bless Serge Sargsyan's plans. Or they want the great powers to
guarantee the game.
But they are waiting in vain. Nobody gives guarantees. This is bad
for Serge Sargsyan, for it means that nobody believes in him, and
especially his chess-card game. Even the headquarters of the Harsnakar
Hotel fails to help. If this goes on, he will have to think about
his future seriously. But Serge Sargsyan appears to have decided to
think out everything beforehand. Observing the tradition, he decided
that as long as everyone in Armenia and the world ignore his efforts,
he will take up unification of chess and Karabakh.
Especially that a "comrade" of his is sitting in Karabakh, who is
also seriously thinking about his fate and has been criticizing Robert
Kocharyan for a long time now.
Serge Sargsyan needs to display to everyone that not only the
chess champions but also the president of Karabakh Arkady Ghukasyan
personally with his "army" are beside him. After all, someone may
believe and be amazed by his greatness and power. Therefore, on
September 4 they rounded up in September. What can the champions do?
They cannot refuse their sponsors. Where are they supposed to know
that they are being used as pawns in another chess game? They went to
see the country of their ancestors and provided an opportunity for
Ghukasyan and Serge Sargsyan to perform tricks with chess symbols
together.
The "comrades" performed these tricks perfectly. The slogan "the
beginning of all victories" was expanded and declared as "all our
victories begin in Karabakh". Whose victories? It is clear whose
victories, of course, not those of the chess players. The problem is
not only the slogans, of course. Besides, it does not matter that the
Karabakh army has a lot to do on the front. This is something to be
done on the move.
It is clear that tricks with symbols will be performed in the future
as well. It is also clear that serious talks and acts will take place
behind these tricks, for neither Sargsyan nor Ghukasyan have anything
to say, especially to people, to convince them in their potential
helpfulness. Everyone already knows everything. The image of these
figures is also well known, as well as their desire to replace the
world by themselves and their wish to get everyone accept this.
In fact, human brazenness has no limits. What are these people busy
with at a moment when Karabakh is facing the danger of resumption of
war, and the publics of Armenia and NKR are exhausted by corruption
and indifference of their leaderships? Did they really imagine that
they could fool everyone? Did they believe that the world is based
on their wishes? If they did, it means they need special attendance.
Never mind that everyday these important persons are reported to make
criminal economic and political deals with foreign figures. Never
mind that the national interest of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh
has been turned into a means of getting the support of governments
of foreign countries. But when they are trying to persuade people
that this will last long and will last with their connivance, as the
OSCE co-chairs announced, our imagination is wearing thin. Instead,
the wish and ability to punish these "shameless" people by law have
occurred. Just like the formers were punished. There always comes a
time when there is no need to waste energy on "protocol".
