COALITION BASED ON LARGE-SCALE BLUFFING
Gevorg Sargsyan

20:19:50 - 29/02/2008
Apparently the Armenian government has finally realized that the
popular movement gathering momentum in the country is impossible to
stop. The hopes that it is possible to implement the plan of handing
out presidential power to Serge Sargsyan are vanishing day by day.
It was expected that at some point the acting and declared presidents
would resort to various political devices to gain additional resource
for every possible thing. The information that the leader of the
Orinats Yerkir is offered the post of secretary of the Council for
Security is a vivid representative of that class of devices.
If Baghdasaryan had been offered the post of speaker of the
National Assembly, he would have been appointed to that post today
(it is possible to elect a new speaker of parliament in one day) and
ostensibly the government would be trying to knock up a coalition. It
would be possible to understand the logic of Baghdasaryan.
However, appearing in the position of secretary of the Security
Council of Armenia only means that he is under consideration
for the new presidential candidate of the government in case
the Constitutional Court repeals the results of the presidential
election. At least, perhaps this is what the government has inspired
to Arthur Baghdasaryan. He would hardly agree to another game with
the government.
The fact that nobody is going to make Baghdasaryan president is
obvious to everyone. But the fact that the coalition is going to
be formed through large-scale bluffing means that the government of
Armenia is in total panic.
Let us wait to see what bluffing they will put up with the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun.
