On December 22 the All-Armenian National Movement will hold its
congress. Levon Ter-Petrosyan is expected to make a statement on
the upcoming presidential election. The All-Armenian Movement has
no hint on his decision. It is not a surprise. A force which has
declared itself liberal has never been distinguished for openness
and transparency. Instead, there is explicit authoritarianism and
the will of one person.
This situation deepened as Ter-Petrosyan~Rs force entered into deals
with Serzh Sargsyan, then Ter-Petrosyan. The entire public resource
was exhausted, and Ter-Petrosyan remained alone with his party
nomenclature and Facebook suicide bombers. In this situation, one
cannot consider transparency of decision making. Instead, intrigues,
shaded deals and conjuncture decisions became dominant.
Now Ter-Petrosyan~Rs group is moving towards its ~Shistory-making~T
event. The revelation of the bugged conversation between MPs Levon
Zurabyan and Vartan Oskanian completed the picture ahead of the
congress, evidencing that Ter-Petrosyan~Rs group is fully in the
field of shaded deals.
Will Ter-Petrosyan run in the election? The society has not been
interested in this for a long time now, perhaps only the government
and Ter-Petrosyan~Rs team care for that. The government is interested
because it needs a ~Sstrong~T rival to defeat and gain advantage over
him, thus cleaning away the ~Ssediment~T of the election of 2008. And
Ter-Petrosyan is interested to the extent of staying in politics over
the next 5 years.
The government is trying to block the other ways out for
Ter-Petrosyan. For this purpose the government has removed Gagik
Tsarukyan from the game and revealed the conversation between MPs
Levon Zurabyan and Vartan Oskanian. By the way, Zurabyan says that
Ter-Petrosyan will hardly get 10% without the support of the PAP. In
fact, the government has thus humiliated Ter-Petrosyan and leaves
him no alternatives.
Will Ter-Petrosyan nominate Levon Zurabyan? This question is not
groundless since Ter-Petrosyan has chosen Zurabyan as his heir.
Ter-Petrosyan trusts only Zurabyan and hopes to cling to politics
through him, ruling the group ~Sfrom home~T. In fact, the goal of
Ter-Petrosyan~Rs policy is to bring Zurabyan to ~Sgovernment~T.
Zurabyan lives up to Ter-Petrosyan~Rs expectations. He carries out
clearly the ~Spolitical~T line of his leader the interpretation of
which exceeds any definition of demagogy, has been able to shape a
group of ~Ssuicide bombers~T (they are referred to as zombies in the
social networks) who mess the entire social network and people~Rs
consciousness, trying to discredit everyone who does not fit in this
line and calling them as servants of the regime. Zurabyan has also
removed his competitors from the Congress through crafty intrigues.
Is it a surprise that the ~Snational movement~T has reached this haven?
Perhaps no because a movement is different from political scramble.
Levon Ter-Petrosyan has never been a man of movement, he has always
been good at political scramble. Strange though it may seem, he has
nothing to do with the start and development of the Karabakh movement.
The movement was launched and led to victory by other people. When
the war began, these people went on to organize the war while Karabakh
Committee set to fight for power using the potential of the movement.
Hence, it is not in vain that the Congress states about change of
government. However, there are two ways of change of government,
constitutional and non-constitutional. Everyone knows it is impossible
to change government in Armenia through the constitutional way because
the constitutional and electoral mechanisms are not working. And
the purpose of any movement is to achieve the establishment of such
mechanisms in the country. This is called a revolution.
The other way of change of government which Ter-Petrosyan~Rs group
is allegedly trying to achieve is a ~Schange of government~T through
intrigues and shaded deals. The conversation between MPs Levon Zurabyan
and Vartan Oskanian is evidence to this. This is anti-revolution
~V the goals of the movement and the civil values are sacrificed to
shadow politics and deals.
In fact, this is the greatest favor to the regime, the best service
to its interest for which Ter-Petrosyan accuses others. The regime
is not an individual, the regime is a phenomenon. The same regime
has ruled in Armenia for 20 years, people have replaced each other.
Ter-Petrosyan~Rs group is a full-time member of this regime, the
Constitution and electoral mechanisms, elimination of corruption,
independence of courts are something strange to them because if all
these are present, they will have to face the court. Besides, the
purpose of the regime is to block the way for new people, new ideas
in order to eternize their existence in both government and opposition.
Serzh Sargsyan and Ter-Petrosyan do know the rules of this game.
