Dashnaktsutyun is collecting signatures to vote no confidence to the
government. It is not known how many signatures have already been
collected but evidently the party is going to put this issue in front
of the parliament in autumn.
The ARFD brought up vote of no confidence in spring but either it was
not confident enough or the events were not mature yet. Meanwhile,
autumn is the best time for it. It will become clear where the
dialogue between the ANC and the ruling coalition is going though
elections are expected anyway.
The resignation of the discredited government on the eve of elections
will not harm anyone, neither the opposition nor Serzh Sargsyan.
Dashnaktsutyun will score several points for it has openly expressed
distrust in government.
Apparently, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan will also benefit from
this. After resignation the prime minister could fully dedicate
himself to the political scramble and the one who will be appointed
acting head of the governmen, will be to blame. Perhaps, it will be
someone from the ARF Dashnaktsutyun which criticizes the government
more than other parties do.
Politically, this is the most painless way, sheep are safe, wolves are
fed. But it will not resolve two major problems - it will not return
to the citizens the money stolen from them and will not punish those
responsible for the criminal economic policy. The prime minister and
the government, of course, are to blame but do not forget that the
head of the economic pyramid is not the prime minister. And he does
not determine the amount of tax and customs benefits and methods of
the `struggle' against `aliens' in business.
Voting no confidence to the government could be a good chance for the
ARF Dashnaktsutyun to reintegrate into the decision-making process.
But the interests of the party should not be an obstacle to public
support to this improving process. If suddenly the greater part of the
society joins the ARFD demands, the party itself will find it hard to
control the processes.
