Probably, there has been no other official, besides former Chief of
Police Alik Sargsyan, in the Armenian governmental system who gave
so many pledges of loyalty to the acting president.
But as his dismissal proved, pledges count nothing in the Armenian
government. Even the appointment to the office of the Advisor
to the President is not the fruit of the amount of pledges but
just a tradition. For instance, former Minister of Finances Vardan
Khachatryan never gave that many pledges, but after leaving office,
he was appointed Advisor to the President. The same goes for the Chief
of Staff of the President, Minister Manuk Topuzyan who was appointed
Constitutional Court Member after his office of Advisor.
Alik Sargsyan's example should teach a lesson to all the officials
that it is not necessary to consider their main task giving pledges
because Armenia is currently in such a dynamic phase of social-civil
development and global reformation that the government is obligated
to ignore all kind of pledges in certain cases.
All the members of the ruling system need to remember this fact and
understand that the pledge is just a false internal governmental
category and all calculations in the system are made by completely
different logic. Sure, the point is not about the democratic-legal
logic, but it is evident that the palatial structure of the government
is gradually discomposing which is a natural reaction to the formation
of new civil layers, which though in a fragmented way, but started
posing issues very clearly promoting public awareness of all the
layers.
