Recently the so-called local strongmen of Armenia, who are often
referred to as criminal authorities in the press, stood up against
Tigran Sargsyan, who is the so-called "team leader of intellectual
authorities".
First the so-called "ideological" Republicans acted against Tigran
Sargsyan, complaining that Serzh Sargsyan nominated a non-Republican
as prime minister. However, Serzh Sargsyan either convinced them or
hushed the "ideological" Republicans and their controversy with Tigran
Sargsyan fell deep to the underground, and after Tigran Sargsyan's
affiliation it merely moved to the level of personal likes or dislikes.
Now that the elections are drawing nearer, the so-called strongmen's
sector of the Republican Party stands up against Tigran Sargsyan,
asking "who is Tigran Sargsyan?" No doubt, this sector touched the
hearts of the ideological sector. Although they do not disclose their
dissatisfaction with Tigran Sargsyan, except for Hovik Abrahamyan
who does not dare complain of Tigran Sargsyan's tenure bluntly and
directly, the ideological wing has not reached a peace agreement on
Sargsyan's affirmation as prime minister.
Will the ideological sector ally with the strongmen against Tigran
Sargsyan? Perhaps they will be oriented by Serzh Sargsyan. And what
will orient Serzh Sargsyan? Certainly, the government depends greatly
on the institution of the so-called criminal authorities, as people
put it. This institution performs for the government almost the same
functions as the police and security agencies.
Is Serzh Sargsyan ready to give away the service of this institution
for the sake of Tigran Sargsyan? It goes without saying that he is
obliged to give it away. Most probably, however, Serzh Sargsyan will
try to combine them, in other words, persuade Tigran Sargsyan and
Mher Sedrakyan that they are not against each other and they pursue
the same goal, the issue of government.
However, once this is arranged with Prime Minister Sargsyan, agreement
with Mher will remain, as well as to ask "who is Tigran Sargsyan?"
Tigran Sargsyan's team has announced that they do not care for Mher's
statement because they are on different platforms of values. Perhaps
the prime minister has forgotten that Mher is a member of the same
party a member of the executive board of which Tigran Sargsyan is. I
do not know what kind of a platform the Republican Party is for Tigran
Sargsyan's team, a platform of values, currency or conjunctive, but
they are definitely on the same platform with Mher. And perhaps it
is time for Tigran Sargsyan and his team to worry about it. Perhaps
it already worries them, which caused Mher to worry too.
The real addressee of his statement is perhaps Serzh Sargsyan rather
than Tigran Sargsyan. Apparently, Mher Sedrakyan and the Republican
camp he represents need guarantees of partnership with Serzh Sargsyan.
In fact, not only the Armenian National Congress is waiting for
Serzh Sargsyan's word but also the Armenian criminal congress. It
is interesting who Sargsyan will speak to. Possibly, to both. But to
who will he keep his word till the end?
