It seemed difficult to distract the society's attention from the
development of the Armenian and Turkish process especially in the
phase of six weeks of home consultations. But the Heritage succeeded
in this question and everyone is engaged in learning who joined the
party and who left it and where Raffi Hovhannisyan is. TV channels
generate the attention of the society towards this issue attaching
such importance to the Heritage scandal as if the future of the
Armenian state depended on this.
It will not be surprising if one of the channels decided to make
a scenario on the Heritage split giving birth to a regular TV
series. At least, the subject will not be less interesting than
those of various "vorogaits" (traps) which are seen in the Armenian
television. Moreover, the series maybe entitled "Mastergait" in honor
of the slogan "are you the master of your country?" with which Heritage
joined the Armenian political "elite". Or it is better to call the TV
series "Mastergate" with the spirit of the famous story of Watergate
bringing the scandal with Heritage to international level, moreover
considering that Raffi Hovhannisyan's foreign visits broadened the
frames of the activities of the party long ago.
But even this TV series is unable to explain to the Armenian citizens
what impact the Heritage scandal may have on their lives, their
country and on the solution of important issues of the country. The
reason is not determined by the fact that the Armenian TV series are
unable to explain anything to citizens. But the question is that what
is happening in the Heritage is unexplainable to the public moods.
They say the slit of a regular party moreover, a party with a
tangible electorate may be a harm to the public moods and will cause
a regular wave of despair. This danger, of course exists, but the
2008 presidential elections show that that however the society is
despaired a clear speech, an adequate assessment of the situation
are able to change the situation. Society is like justice: it falls
ill but does not die.
So, the existence or the extinction of the Heritage does not change
big things in Armenia if Armenia is viewed in long-term context. The
representatives of this or that wing of the Heritage are also
surprised that a party quarrel aroused such scandal. If someone
has organized this quarrel, they are also surprised that it caused
such massiveness. Consequently, perhaps it is high time to close
the Heritage topic moreover there are open and not yet closed more
important topics.
