Actually, Serzh Sargsyan destroyed the government he had built
in the result of 2008 election, i.e. March 1. No doubt, planning
the presidential elections, Serzh Sargsyan imagined a different
government. March 1 ruined all his plans creating a completely new
internal governmental situation and forcing Serzh Sargsyan adapt to it.
It is necessary to stress that the point is not about the fact that
Serzh Sargsyan had an idea of a better, more democratic government.
No, the point is about a completely different government not related to
Kocharyan because only such a government would allow Serzh Sargsyan
being the de facto President of the country with all the social,
internal governmental and foreign political responsibility stemming
from it.
By the way, following the internal governmental replacements, we
don't need to have the false impression of democratic or legal-civil
changes. It is clear that the government is under a process of
formation of transformation which was put off for over 3 years due
to March 1.
The intermediate government that has been present in Armenia for over
3 years seems to be destructing or has already destructed, and Serzh
Sargsyan's government is coming to replace it. Apparently, the coming
government will be temporary because the current system in Armenia
with its essence and quality is unable to ensure a lasting government.
Serzh Sargsyan understands this fact having a clear idea of the home
situation and global trends.
Merely the new temporary government will be Serzh Sargsyan's tactics
and not the concession to Robert Kocharyan. Sure, Sargsyan needs
to complete this process, or to bring it to the point after which
Kocharyan will have to only agree with Sargsyan and stop his evident
and covert tries to change the situation. But it is obvious that Serzh
Sargsyan managed to receive the support of the West and Moscow, while
in case of certain layout of realities in the country, he can also
get the support of the opposition Armenian National Congress. Congress
seems to have already voiced its support announcing about the version
of next elections.
Ter-Petrosyan, of course, understands no worse the situation and knows
the government structure better and imagines the deep essence of the
changes preferring not to intervene and not to become an obstacle. I am
repeating, I am not saying Armenia and the authorities are becoming
more democratic and Ter-Petrosyan decided to enjoy this process,
more, Ter-Petrosyan is not entering a deal with Serzh Sargsyan.
Merely, assessing the resources of the opposition, the potential of
public mobilization, and understanding the deep processes happening
in the government and the external influence on them, which is not a
secondary factor, Ter-Petrosyan perhaps prefers not assuming the role
of the unnecessary because if so, he will not better the opposition's
positions but will only inhibit the internal governmental process.
But in general, having no direct or indirect connection with the
public demand on democratization, as well as with the civil interests,
the current process has positive trends for Armenia in terms of
public perspectives.
Building his own government, Serzh Sargsyan cannot but take into
account the transformations inside the society, the home and foreign
realities, technological transformations which facilitated the
destruction of such regimes which were richer than Armenia, in terms
of stronger self-preservation resources.
The key issue of the ongoing process is the power but any government
is based on the features of its time. Any government expresses the
public atmosphere of its time. Consequently, the society needs to see
not only a regular internal governmental skirmish that has nothing
to do with it and just a fight for power, but the impact of its
transformation on the governmental system.
Yes, Serzh Sargsyan, sooner or later, had to deal with the
establishment of his own government, but it depends on the current
situation in the public atmosphere what government he will establish,
what moods and trends will prevail or will be no less influential
than internal governmental trends in this process of establishment
of government.
Consequently, the society is not witnessing a show, or not only a show,
but the result of its legal-civil transformation, its influence.
This means that the process of public transformations should be kept
and deepened, deepening the internal governmental chaos, at the same
time, keeping it under the direct or indirect public control.
