    OUR PART OF THE CRISIS MAY BE DEAF

    It will be wrong and unfair to say that the Armenian government is
    not taking up measures to protect the economy from the impact of the
    crisis. Is not it enough that the government speaks about anti-crisis
    steps? These conversations, the endless and monotone conversations,
    have a great importance and the anti-crisis potential must not be
    underestimated. The point is not only that the citizens hear these
    conversations and get filled up with confidence towards the government
    and the situation and the economy strengthens in its aftermaths. The
    citizens are probable not to believe these conversations at all,
    but this is not important. The point is that it is a well-known truth
    that the crisis does not like to be spoken much about, but it prefers
    actions. But our government speaks a lot, without stop. Consequently,
    if the crisis does not like to be spoken about, the logic hints that we
    should do what it likes. In other words, the government keeps speaking
    and will go on speaking so long to make the crisis escape from these
    chatterers. So, the citizens should not think that the government does
    not take up steps but only speaks. In reality, speaking is an important
    job for the government, which is being accomplished with details in
    order to enable Armenia to overcome the crisis as soon as possible.

    But, there is another problem which should be taken into
    consideration. The point is that the crisis or our part of the
    crisis may be deaf. Like in case of the anecdote, when whistles
    are given to the passengers on the board of plane for them to blow
    them if they meet a shark in case the plane is crashed in the ocean,
    and one of the passengers, who is Armenian by the way, refuses the
    whistle saying to be sure that "his" shark will be deaf. Anyway,
    it is difficult to state, because on the one hand the crisis did not
    reach really dangerous sizes, when the human disaster is inevitable,
    because tangible spheres will get poorer, on the other hand the impact
    of the crisis is much enough to note that it has given an essential
    hit to the Armenian economy and continues its work without paying
    attention to what the government is saying.

    So, the problem transforms and the problem is different now, whether
    our government has any program in case the crisis is deaf. If it is
    not deaf, the axis of the governmental anti-crisis program is evident
    to be the speaking, which is going to drive the crisis crazy. And what
    should be done if the crisis is deaf? The talks of the government may
    be written down and stuck on each wall, so the crisis will enter and
    notice them. The problem is the writings of the government are not
    that terrible for the crisis. For example, the government wrote very
    beautiful things on setting up some centers, but the crisis came and
    disappeared al the perspectives for those centers. So, the problem
    is not the substance but the phenomenon and it is not the content
    of the governmental speeches which will terrify the crisis but their
    pronunciation, the voice. The point is that if the crisis is not deaf,
    it is able to find some cotton and close its ears and keep destroying
    the Armenian economy.
