Mr. Paskevichyan, the government has started using the word
revolution. Michael Minasyan, for instance, stated that these elections
will be a revolution for our country and us. You have always voiced
the demand for fair elections in our interviews. In your opinion,
will these elections be a revolution?
Quality? Yes, we seem to have made it. Since 2007, the conflict was
among individuals, after March 1 it became a conflict among species.
In the first stage, people won. People had a powerful individuality
against the name guaranteed by the bandit state. In the second stage,
people won. No act of violence then coerced people to give away
their ideas. In the war of qualities, which has already started, the
opposition must be highly careful because the abovementioned young man
will try to mislead, as he already did once in the situation referred
to by WikiLeaks. This much about the dialectics of our struggle. As
to your question, the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia does
not forbid anyone to use the word "revolution".
Alik Sargsyan also spoke about fair and transparent elections. Do
they also feel the need for fair elections?
You see I grew up in the street but I never knew the local strongmen.
When I was a student, it was the years of the collapse of the Soviet
Union, we were under the surveillance of KGB. I never knew them by
their names and faces. Now from the distance of years I cannot say
whether the first ones protected social order while the second ones
protected state security. I only know that the Constitution of the
Republic of Armenia does not forbid anyone to pronounce the phrase
"fair elections".
You support the Armenian National Congress. In your opinion, why did
the ANC support the Bargavach Hayastan Party in the mayoral election
of Ijevan? What is the purpose of this step?
I am sorry this is a political question, so I will not answer it. I
can only say that the position of the ANC on the election of the
mayor of one of the cities does not influence my preferences. As an
individual, as a citizen, I am for sheer resistance but I repeat that
one statement or slight deviation of position is not a tragedy for me.
Politics is the occupation of politicians. Levon Zurabyan, for
instance, does this job well.
Mr. Paskevichyan, the chain of resignations extends but misconduct
is not punished adequately, such as the assault by the governor of
Syunik or the drunken prime minister's speech. Why?
Do you believe that one or two cases may change something? If our
state had that ability, Tigran Sargsyan would be outside, I mean the
borders of the society. And if Tigran Sargsyan were outside, Suren
Khachatryan would not appear in the same place with the business lady
Silva Hambardzumyan, and today we would be discussing something else.
Something beyond politics? Maybe poetry?
There is nothing beyond politics because politics does not have a
constant mark. It is the technology of formulations. And one can even
make up a love story about a case under this technology. Although,
it would be pertinent to mention "Chieftain Shavarsh" by Yeghisheh
Charents.
