The story of the speech of the drunken prime minister who attended
the concert of Tata, the rabis (folk pop) singer, is already past but
there is still a light impression. Most people criticized the prime
minister not because he was drunk but because he attended the concert.
Instead of raising the level of his favorite party, he reduced his
level to that of the party. If there are people who pay attention to
this, it means not everything is lost.
The Republican Party is walking towards the election with the image
and philosophy of Tata. It is the Asian philosophy the ultimate goal
of which is to satisfy one's instincts using all the possible ways.
Gluttony, luxury, lust, criminal pseudo-values become ultimate goals,
part of political activities. But the worst thing is that these
low values are preached as norms, and have become the "ownership"
of public in large.
There is no need to understand one's wishes, it is necessary to
fulfill them through all the possible ways. This is the greatest
tragedy in Armenia.
The Western culture was able to curb low wishes by intellect, which is
the meaning of the European civilization. It has not rejected instincts
but is able to control them successfully. The instincts are not allowed
to prevail over the rest to enjoy them without becoming their prisoner.
The music which the political party chooses as its own brand can tell
a lot to voters. The ARF Dashnaktsutyun chose Ruben Hakhverdyan's
"The Red Poppies", the song about the soldiers who got killed in the
Karabakh war for their independence. It gives some hints about this
party. It is difficult to judge about the other political parties.
What is their philosophy? What do they want to bring to the society?
The Republican Party tried to make Tata a brand but lost more than
won. But the society suffered the most because the idea of following
low desires instead of intellectual analysis was imposed on it.
Because such analysis is not dangerous only for intellectual parties.
