Serge Sargsyan gave another post to the ex-president of
Nagorno-Karabakh, Arkadi Ghukasyan. Besides the post of the RA
Ambassador for special assignments, Arkadi Ghukasyan got also the
post of the Vice-president of the All Armenia Fund. In addition,
this post is just created, consequently, we may state that it was
created just for Arkadi Ghukasyan. At least, is it difficult to say,
what the need to create such a post was. If something lacks for the
increase of the efficiency of the work of the All Armenia Fund, it
is not surely this post. A third post is left to be given to Arkadi
Ghukasyan and everything will be completed in this way. It is not
ruled out even that Arkadi Ghukasyan refuted his intention to run
for NKR president for the third time, with the condition that he will
have three posts in Armenia. The third will be, probably, that a new
post of the vice-president of Armenia will be created especially for
Arkadi Ghukasyan. Some constitutional amendments will be needed in
this case, but it is all right. If it is needed, it can be done.
Otherwise, imagine that Arkadi Ghukasyan may get angry, return to
Nagorno-Karabakh on his post of the president, and start to quarrel
with Bako Sahakyan. Bako Sahakyan did not promise him three posts
in Armenia. Consequently, it would be unfair if Bako Sahakyan bears
the responsibility for this pledge and loses the post of the NKR
president. Thus, the struggle of Ghukasyan against Sahakyan will be
one for the sake of justice. But, on the other hand, Ghukasyan will
be right in this case too. After all, he was promised three posts,
but he did not get them, so he returns to his previous post. The
best solution will be to set co-presidency. So, it will turn out
that the co-chairs are always in Stepanakert, though not those of
the OSCE Minks group. But, this is not important, but the fact that
the co-chairs will always be in Stepanakert.
But, if we remember the experience of Arkadi Ghukasyan's presidency,
he will hardly stay in Stepanakert for long. When he was alone to be
the president, he was going abroad several times a month. If he has
a co-president, in other words, if he knows that Bako Sahakyan is in
Stepanakert, Ghukasyan will probably not return to Stepanakert at all.
Let us hope that the problem will not reach the situation when
Arkadi Ghukasyan has the third post in Armenia, even if it will
not be that of the vice-president of Armenia. However, the post
of the RA vice-president is needed. For example, the American
vice-president called our president two times, and we do not have a
single vice-president to call Baiden at least once.
