WHAT DOES OUR HOME CRIMINAL RELYING UPON?

The imminent end of office of Armenian President Robert Kocharyan
gave rise to fantastic phenomena, namely the process underway among
the tight-knit government officials and businessmen. The behavior of
this environment is like that of a baby, who wants to get out of the
playpen without realizing that its caring mother put it inside the
playpen. It cannot realize because so far it has thought that the
world is the playpen, whereas now another world is seen through the
wooden bars of the playpen. And the desire to appear in that outer
world is so strong!
Such is our home oligarchy. It was born in the womb of the home
government void at birth, without concerns about future: loved parents
took care about everything. And suddenly they were told that the
president would retire soon. He would retire, deserting his own
creation, the proud home oligarchy. At that point their peace was
disturbed.
By the end of the week the Armenian land was blessed. At last Serge
Sargsyan made up his mind. Serge realized where he should be. And the
prodigal son returned to the political party of the former defense
minister.
And everything stirred around him, more exactly, around the name of
the blessed. Everything became clear: salvation is where Serge is.
And one of the too oppositionist newspapers even wrote with delight
that "Nemets Rubo joins the Republican party because Serge is there
too." He showed a model of behavior, after all Ruben Hairapetyan is
not the least of authorities. And the home criminal started the race
of grouping. At that moment the citizens of the country wondered
whose salvation they are talking about in Armenia.
The answer is clear, the salvation of those who were abandoned by
their father, the retiring president. Those who had decided that the
world inside the "playpen" is too small and unsafe. Another question
occurred, however: what is the home criminal relying on? The retiring
"father" did not go away, he is following from above how the babies
are playing in the playpen. He is watching the babies, whom Serge
has made to believe that now he will be their "father". People are
watching around too. They are watching and thinking what to do with
them, these practical robbers.
So, now we have also become interested in what these gentlemen are
trying to achieve together. It is clear. They are up for taking over
the lever of administrative terror, and the sanctuary - the electoral
commissions. For elections are coming up. They cannot have someone
else approach the commissions. They need to turn 3.5 percent into
67 percent. This is the tradition in Armenia. And most importantly,
people cannot be allowed to come close to the ballot boxes not to
cram the future of the privileged with bad ballots.
Maybe it is not worthwhile to be that excited, but the oligarch Gagik
Tsarukyan somehow started acting too broadly. And he is backed by
the president. What if they refuse to give the commissions? What
will be then? Then will be the same 3.5 percent as in 2003. What
should they do in this case? Of course, they should tell Tsarukyan
Gagik that he will not appear in the parliament at any rate. He may
surrender without fight and complain to the president. They made up
their minds and told him, very mildly, of course, carefully enough
not to make Kocharyan angry.
Tigran Urikhanyan, shy and timid, gave a news conference and said,
"I saw a dream, oh, I'm sorry, not me but the person who told me,
that the Bargavach Hayastan Party will not enter the parliament." And
he felt relief. He did not believe it either but since he had been
told to do it, there was nothing else he could do.
Exactly like in a playpen.
And if to be more serious, the situation in Armenia is growing
serious. No doubt, the criminal will be burning like rats drenched
with petrol. However, it is not what worries the citizens of Armenia.
We are interested in our country, and the cost of the running rats.
Quite recently, two of these were shooting at each other, but an
innocent citizen got killed, leaving her children orphaned. And
if we allow these scoundrels decide our future, the entire country
will suffer.
It means others should start acting. The pack should be driven back
to the playpen and provided safe custody where the law has foreseen.
If the president cannot or does not want to do it, the citizens should
do it themselves. After all, this is not the first time.
