The secession of the Orinats Yerkir Party from the coalition and the
resignation of Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan sent the country into a
psychosis. The political party and its speaker received strictures
from everywhere. Meanwhile, it seems absurd when they accuse someone
who quits power and leaves them alone with their right to enjoy the
benefits of power the way they can.
Everyone has their reason to blame Orinats Yerkir. However, some of
them attract attention, for behind their assessments and statements one
can discern fear which can hardly be concealed. In the meantime, they
consider themselves to be quite odious. Among them are the "unique"
friend-foe tandem, Serge Sargsyan and Artashes Geghamyan. Over the
past few days they have not missed a single opportunity to assure the
public that nothing serious has happened in the country, and what is
more important, nothing has changed.
They state, not quite persuading, of course, and with an implicit
anxiety, because not only they do not believe it, but they also lose
their nerve. Then they immediately contradict to themselves. For
instance, several days ago Serge Sargsyan admitted that Arthur
Baghdasaryan's resignation had foiled his plans. Moreover, he said his
political plans are not a dogma and he was going to modify them. Why,
if he assured that nothing had happened? He may have realized that
there had happened the worst thing for him: life progressed, leaving
the "superminister" in the blind alley of history. Artashes Geghamyan
also realized this. For although the roles of these two political
merchants have been different over the past years, they have been
united by something.
Serge Sargsyan, for instance, has instilled in people that he is
almighty "by nature" and by biography. He would never fear what
people would talk about him, all he needed was loud speeches about
his power. But he would always get nervous if anyone mistakenly stated
that Serge's entire resource is his offices and Kocharyan's protection.
Nevertheless, he has always aspired to occupy more and more positions
to have a long "service record." Thereby he wanted to show that his
hands are long. From time to time he was successful, he even believed
in his own power, until the unexpected unveiling of this personage.
The same is with Geghamyan. He was well aware that he had to create
an image of an almighty savior and the only defender of people's
rights. He did this with care until Serge Sargsyan stopped him not
to become obsessed; the suffered people might believe him. Geghamyan
was satisfied with a pleasant and secure political position, and
most importantly, very useful for Serge Sargsyan: who could build
the image of an almighty with more care than Geghamyan the orator.
Thus our "artistes" lived, singing to one another. But what bad
luck! Someone sent all this system to hell for reasons that were not
clear enough and without notifying anyone. As usual, Serge appeared
on air and let anyone know that it was his victory and no one could
do anything in this country without his participation.
Well, of course, he did not appear personally, they sent a protégé to
justify. However, nothing came out of it, no one applauded. It does not
interest people. Only one thing is important: will Arthur Baghdasaryan
become Sahakashvili? Here Artashes Geghamyan again proved useful,
and he was called for help. The "savior" again voiced how great and
powerful Serge and Kocharyan are, while playing down Baghdasaryan. It
is beyond Baghdasaryan to remove this couple, only the greatest
orator of the century can do it. If Arthur repents, Geghamyan will
accept to his "patrimony." But Geghamyan appears to have realized
that Serge is "naked." Fear crept into his heart that he could lose
his "patrimony" and the role that always seemed eternal. What would
he be telling people if the "couple" was not there anymore? After
all, the great Armenians will "cease", and people will get bored by
biblical "readings." Whereas he is used to his role. On top of all,
he cannot get over anxiety, for he will have to account to people
for his years of hypocrisy and deception. For he is well aware that
without his total deception the dictatorship of "the almighty" would
have disappeared long before. There is a positive thing, however:
the time of manipulators in Armenia is coming to an end. There is
another positive thing: the manipulators failed to notice how this
happened. Let them preserve their comfortable world in an eternal
status quo in words, for they act so because they are unable to modify
the state of things. When our Lord decides to punish someone, deprives
him of reason. Even Geghamyan has difficulty understanding the truth:
fear disturbs him and shuts his eyes before the truth.
