The Police and the City Hall are not fighting for the rights of
the owners of those kiosks to be installed in Mashtots Park. They
are defending the old system which may collapse in this park. Taron
Margaryan is at the very forefront, and Serzh Sargsyan meant this
when he said, during the swearing-in ceremony of the mayor, that he
hopes Taron will live up to his expectations.
The kiosks are just an occasion, and most probably their owners
have already asked the mayor to choose another location with fewer
problems. Perhaps, they have already ignored the right to property
but for the City Hall and the oligarchy this is a crucial battle and
they cannot afford to retreat.
The understanding that the owners of the city are the citizens was a
sudden brunt to the system. The name of the organization "We are the
owners of this city" confused the ex-mayor. He could not understand
who dared state to be the owners of the city with him officially
appointed as the owner. But the worst thing is that the legislation
states that the citizens are the masters of the city.
The understanding and the public expression of this concept is the
biggest threat to the current system which made it defend itself
desperately despite the election campaign and the possible damage to
their rating. No time to think about ratings.
Formations in history have always changed in accordance with the
change of the right to property and means of production: transition of
slavery to feudalism, feudalism to capitalism. Now we have "democratic
feudalism" in Armenia where property belongs to a group of people
who defend it with the help of the democratic laws written by them.
Today the right of this group to property is doubted, and the process
of "discussion" who should own the right is underway. The progressive
part of the society is youth, which has grown up on the democratic
laws written by the oligarchy and knows what equality is and states
that everyone can possess property. The oligarchic rule defies such
assessments, and the most it can do is to redistribute property,
grab it from here and distribute it there.
In his greeting message to the Republican congress, the leader of the
European People's Party Wilfred Martens said the historical formation
is changing in Armenia. We would like to hope that he meant the change
of the form of property, provision of basic benefits to the society.
So, Taron Margaryan cannot retreat and transfer the kiosks to another
place. He will not be forgiven surrender because behind him is "Moscow"
and the whole system which is standing on the verge of collapse.
