    EVENING IS NO LONGER DULL
    Naira Hayrumyan

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    Published: 15:23:24 - 01/12/2011

    Press secretary of the leader of the coalition party Bargavach Hayastan
    Khachik Galstyan stated that the pressure on the party is already
    evident: there is too much coincidence. "The pressure is evident in
    terms of arrests of party members. We are following the development
    of the situation, but we will give final assessment of the situation
    later", said Galstyan.

    The press also reports that BHP leader Gagik Tsarukyan has already
    returned to Armenia, called the Chief of Police and asked about the
    campaign launched against his party.

    The evening, as they say, is no longer dull. The situation should be
    somehow solved. Either Gagik Tsarukyan goes on open confrontation with
    Serzh Sargsyan, or they talk and decide that they common interests
    and it is Levon Ter-Petrosyan to drives a wedge between them.

    Against this background it is interesting that Ter-Petrosyan's speech,
    in which he did not rule out cooperation with BHP, was issued right
    on the next day of the information that the Republican Party and the
    Bargavach Hayastan can run in election with a joint ticket. This was
    quite a possible plan and Ter-Petrosyan's "proposal" was to prevent
    its implementation. The task has been fulfilled at the present moment.

    But if Tsarukyan recovers from the "strike" of the Congress, and
    the police do not go too far with the arrests, the single ticket
    can still take place. Therefore, those, who do not want this, need
    "to make anger" Tsarukyan all the time.

    Though he tries to be cautious in politics, he is still an eccentric
    person. Apparently, Naira Zohrabyan meant this when she warned everyone
    "not to play with fire". Tsarukyan may get angry. True, we don't know
    yet what he does when he is angry. In politics, he can hardly use the
    "anger methods" he uses with his subordinates.

    But most of all Tsarukyan can get angry by the threat of property
    redistribution or banal expropriation. BHP agrees to cooperate only
    with the force that can guarantee the preservation of property -
    even by its legitimacy and tax increases. Apparently, the signal was
    in Levon Ter-Petrosyan's speech, who said that the oligarchs are not
    to blame and we should not prosecute them - they have no other way
    to do business in a criminal regime. In other words, Ter-Petrosyan
    has promised amnesty to the oligarchy.

    Now the issue is whether Serzh Sargsyan will provide guarantees to
    the oligarchs.
