The next chief of police of Armenia Vladimir Gasparyan will "organize"
his first rally of the Congress on November 25. His predecessors used
a standard practice regarding the rallies of the Congress, namely
closed the roads to traffic, persecuted the Congress activists,
used violence, etc.
Will Vladimir Gasparyan keep to the "beaten track"?
There is a subtlety. The government is thought to use this tactics to
increase interest towards the Congress and to maintain the "monopoly"
of the Congress as opposition. It is difficult to tell whether the
government thought about it and what its interest was but this practice
produced certain results anyway.
Besides, before the "deciding" rallies of the Congress the press
suddenly bursts with some pornographic scandal or some important
internecine event.
Again, it is difficult to tell if there is such a problem now. The
coordinator of the Congress Levon Zurabyan, for instance, addressed
the Public Television which would be impossible at other times. On the
other hand, another pornographic scandal is maturing on these days,
and the government has two days to "implement" an important event,
such as a government reshuffle.
Hence, Vladimir Gasparyan is facing a dilemma to close the roads or
not, to use violence against the young Congress activists or not.
