Serzh Sargsyan is alone, completely alone with his coalition,
opposition and state figures. This situation has occurred objectively.
The system which has been shaping the Armenian political class for
two decades, including Serzh Sargsyan, collapsed in the result of
home and foreign events but there is no replacement. No replacement
is there because the Armenian political class is a conglomerate of
political adventurers, criminals and small vendors which is unable
to work out and propose solutions both at home and foreign front terms.
The political class was used to a situation when others made decisions
for it, and it gets its "share" from the feeder. Declared as political
forces, the political and criminalized business interfered in the
management of the country which dictated their rules and laws.
So, the "blessed life" ended hit by new developments. And it is found
out that the political and criminalized business "elite" are confused,
not knowing what to do in the new situation.
Under these conditions, when they need to take a decision, they
evidently fail because no similar mechanism has ever been introduced
in Armenia. For example, BHP keeps mysterious silence, failing to
announce whether it is with Serzh Sargsyan, the Congress, Kocharyan
or alone. ARFD reminds vendors standing in line at night in front of
a wholesale market who think what to buy. Now and then, the Congress
makes proposals first to the BHP, then to Serzh Sargsyan. The RPA
does not understand whether to work with Serzh Sargsyan or Robert
Kocharyan. Let alone the other parties.
Most people affirm that Serzh Sargsyan, for his part does not know
what to do. He also needs to determine with who he needs to cooperate.
Unlike the political forces, Serzh Sargsyan's situation is dual. On
the one hand, the former methodology of the system "overwhelms"
him because he is not used to other mechanisms. On the other hand,
he cannot ignore all the changes in home and foreign spheres in the
result of which a completely new situation has occurred.
All of Serzh Sargsyan's statements and steps, or their absence rather,
accelerate the degradation of the system. Everyone is dissatisfied with
him, including his political party. Evidently, Serzh Sargsyan is not
doing it on purpose. On the contrary, he is trying to build a system
to replace the former one. But the charm of the situation is that
the former system does not allow it and the "systemic" crisis persists.
This is a chance for the society, in the sense that it has the
time and possibility to return its legal right to participate in
the country's life. Most people in Armenia alarm "systemic crisis"
but they do not explain the meaning of preservation of this system,
and the interests of the society regarding it. Does the society have
a chance to realize its legal rights under this system, or can the
representatives of the system which seized this right for decades
give such guarantees to the society for the future?
Of course, there are concerns relating to the outcome of all this. But
the society's task is to be consistent with the situation. As to
Serzh Sargsyan, his real weapon is his loneliness which will either
lead to his inglorious departure, or make him resort to the society's
assistance. Serzh Sargsyan has no other way.
