LACK OF HONESTY

We have decided not to talk about the content of a conversation
between two MPs that has been eavesdropped by ~Ssecret forces~T ~V
it seems we have got a sort of consensus on this issue. However, one
should probably talk about the fact of eavesdropping, as well as why
the government ~V let us pretend to be naïve and not say the National
Security Service ~V decided to make public this conversation. Firstly,
it became clear once again that there still was political intelligence,
which existed in the Soviet times, in our country. If the Soviet times
had been a thing of the past, people who made that recording and put
it on the internet would have faced a trial. Since that assumption
of mine will be met by chuckle, one can only assume that the Soviet
regime still continues. The speeches of a ~Smilker~T and others at
the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) congress testify to that.
On the other hand, it is clear that our valiant Cheka agents ~V in the
broad sense of that word ~V record and film lots of things, but they
don~Rt make public all of them. They very much needed this material
for the election campaign; that is why it has been made public. It
seems to the authors of that operation that they have discredited the
Armenian National Congress (ANC). It is still hard to say whether that
calculation is right or not. However, the calculation is based on the
fact that the policy of the ANC, as well as all the other political
forces in our country, is not transparent; open competition and public
debate don~Rt exist here. Contradictions are hushed up and come out in
the form of rumors, gossips and hints, which the government skillfully
uses, commenting on those contradictions and hints as it likes. I
consider the recording at issue as a sort of gossip and an anonymous
letter. ~SWorks~T of that genre should be severely condemned. However,
there is only one way to neutralize their impact ~V that is honesty.
And in order to be such, one should put aside the veil of secrecy
and give up on playing a ~SByzantine court.~T At the end of the day,
it is not about the Karabakh conflict settlement, the experts of
which, as we know, were 4 or 5 people. One cannot participate in
presidential elections as an ~Sexpert~T; given the specificities of
Armenian elections, serious mobilization of the society is needed here.
Convincing people for one year that their savior and the one who will
provide them with prosperity and justice is Gagik Tsarukyan, not doing
anything now against the background of those people~Rs disappointment
and continuing to be engaged in some ~Ssecret negotiations~T is not
logical for me. Neither Zurabyan, nor Bagratyan, nor Nikol are to
blame for the current situation in the opposition camp. Guess who!
