Addressing today's congress of the Republican Party, Serzh Sargsyan
assessed the role and achievements of the party. `But the Party has been
carrying on with its noiseless, unpretentious work, stirring away from the
roads to abyss and temptations to reach the sun flying on wax wings,' he
said.
In fact, the red thread running across Serzh Sargsyan's speech was the
slogan `let's believe to change and change to believe'. This is a call on
the Republicans because the society does not believe, does not have reason
to believe any pledge and intention coming from the government. Meanwhile,
the vices that Serzh Sargsyan mentions - corruption, protectionism,
distortion of the role and functions of the state, the destructive
personnel policy, etc. - are typical of the Republican Party and the
government formed by it. This party has eliminated the most important thing
in people - confidence in their own future, their own selves, their own
everything - while Serzh Sargsyan speaks about material achievements.
`Let's believe so that to be able to change us and our country, to be able
to change our mentality and attitude toward the state of Armenia. Let's
change our behavior on the streets, at the working place, in the
university=85 There are numerous negative phenomena in our country and our
society that were inherited from the past and which go on by inertia. To
change first of all means to break that inertia and implant new
traditions,' he said.
So far the Republicans retorted to accusations by mentioning the vices
inherent in the society. They never confessed that these vices were
introduced and established by themselves. Serzh Sargsyan's speech leaves
no
chance to the Republicans to excuse themselves because Sargsyan actually
shifted responsibility on his fellow Republicans.
The architect of the Labyrinth, Daedalus, runs away from Crete with his son
Icarus as soon as he learns he will be killed after completing the
Labyrinth. He makes wings and flies away with his son. However, Icarus
flies high and the son burns the wings and he falls down and dies. Daedalus
survives and plunges into sorrow, the Greek myth says.
Serzh Sargsyan has made wings for his party and himself and showed them the
way to escape the labyrinth of problems of Armenia. However, it is possible
to change everything except the Republican Party. Serzh Sargsyan may escape
but it will be hard to keep the Republicans away from `the roads to abyss
and temptations to reach the sun flying on wax wings'. And the Armenian
society will hardly feel upset.
