Serzh Sargsyan's intention to try having on the Republican ticket
for upcoming parliamentary elections so-called "legionnaires" is
outlined better. They are clearly visible - Khosrov Haurytunyan,
Artashes Geghamyan, Paruyr Hayrikyan. Probably, in the nearest future,
new names will also appear.
The situation is clear. Serzh Sargsyan needs to ensure the victory
at the next elections with "less blood" possible. In other words,
he will be trying to do everything to change radically the Republican
ticket pulling out or reducing those with nicknames and the ridiculous
Nzhdeh conformists.
But Serzh Sargsyan will hardly manage to receive more votes thanks to
Artashes Geghamyan or Khosrov Harutyunyan than with Galust Sahakyan
and Gagik Melikyan, or with those nicknamed and half-literate, but
the general aura can change.
There are two aspects of this issue which are worth attention.
Actually, the circle involved in the Republican ticket undergoes the
regular phase of filtration. In other words, the control shot is used
against these figures, after which they will finally complete their
political existence in Armenia and the new parliament will become
for them a "political mausoleum" because if by now, certain public
circles could think that these people were sincere when opposing
to the 2008 national movement, then after being enlisted into the
Republican ticket, this topic will be closed once and forever.
In this sense, Serzh Sargsyan's step can be welcomed. He should gather
as many as possible similar figures and clear the political view.
There will be necessity to carry out a similar process in the
oppositional field, but this is another topic.
The next particularity of the current internal governmental process is
perhaps the fact that Serzh Sargsyan tries to ensure himself through
"legionnaires" from a possible Republican betrayal. Months ago, Robert
Kocharyan stated that he formed the tangible part of the Republican
rows asking many officials to enter and strengthen the Party before
the 2007 elections. This means that there is the risk of the opposite
process: these people, or the tangible part of them, can go against
Serzh Sargsyan when necessary again by the order of Kocharyan.
This can be the reason why Serzh Sargsyan is trying to decrease the
risk of betrayal increasing the number of his own people.
Though, on the other hand, these people, with their political
biography do not give any optimistic hopes to Serzh Sargsyan. Merely,
the calculation is perhaps the following: by the time these people
will come out of the euphoria of gratefulness, Serzh Sargsyan will be
have already undertaken fundamental actions to eliminate the betrayal.
Only time is necessary, for which the circles of "legionnaires"
will serve.
