HERE THE SOCIETY DEMANDS FACTS

The political forces were expected to fight hard to head the hot fall
race but the contrary happened. Robert Kocharyan set out the first,
however, who had an almost unexpected visit to the regions of Vayots
Dzor and Syunik. The society had not realized the aim and importance
of the visit when the president visited the region of Aragatsotn,
and several other media besides the news program of H1 Channel had the
chance to go with the president. Kocharyan's slogan of this fall start
can be considered the idea, which sounded in the TV report on the visit
to Syunik and Vayots Dzor - the president promises that there will be
more unexpected visits and more often. These are visits when nobody
knows that the president is coming, and the president gives a surprise
to everyone not to let them take their time to hide the drawbacks.
Robert Kocharyan thought it out well. Not only for detecting drawbacks
but also for the regions in general. He wants to show that he controls
the situation, not only in Yerevan but also in the regions. In
other words, he is the president of entire Armenia. And perhaps the
unexpected visits are intended to find out whether the photo of Serge
Sargsyan is already hanging in the office of one governor or another
instead of his photo. And perhaps in this sense it was not accidental
that the first unexpected visit of the president was to the region
of Syunik. It is difficult to say that everything was alright there,
but as the governor was not dismissed, it means that Robert Kocharyan
became convinced that the picture was in its right place. But it is
interesting to know if he is convinced that his visit was a surprise.
It is possible that it was not because after Syunik the visit to
Aragatsotn was not a surprise. Why? Or did Robert Kocharyan have
suspicions over Syunik only? In Aragatsotn the governor is a Dashnak,
and perhaps the president does not even doubt that ARF Dashnaktsutyun
would never hang the picture of Serge Sargsyan. Robert Kocharyan
believes that Dashnaktsutyun would hang Serge Sargsyan rather than
his photo. Presently, however, the president should be more skeptical,
or either believe in everything or not believe anything.
The situation in Armenia is a little different from the standard,
consequently old friends may act differently, even if they leave
the old pictures on the walls. Dashnaktsutyun does not fear the old,
it fears the new. And when Dashnaktsutyun fears, they do not think
about overcoming fear, they start loving fear in themselves.
For this reason, Robert Kocharyan should pay less attention to pictures
and attend to people more often. And people expect jobs and change
of the situation rather than unexpected visits to the regions.
Moreover, they want facts. In normal countries, the government provides
facts to the society to get their votes later. Maybe Robert Kocharyan
does not need the vote of the public anymore, so he wants facts. But
in this case the president should know that the public does not need
him anymore and it becomes pointless to provide facts to him.
