Our interlocutors is expert at the Armenian Center for National and
International Studies, historian Saro Saroyan
Saro, in the election period the party leaders express wishes to make this
state a state. They even issue readiness to refuse their property, but by
and large, no one believes them.
Trust is one of the hardest structures of the psychological world of the
person which is connected to not only the consciousness but also the
unconsciousness. I think the society doesn't see any change for its living
state in the speeches of the party leaders, so, it lets itself to the
downstream. The demand comes from the lack of trust and it is some kind of
criteria of trust. What else should it demand, if it has demanded for
fifteen years, but always remained desperate? This is a proof to the deep
crisis which can become a possibility of changes.
Saro, changes were expected several years ago too, but they never
happened. Is the critical situation determined by the lack of trust towards
the power and the opposition?
The trust towards the power is directly proportional to the increasing
frauds by the regime. The more the frauds become, the less the trust is.
While, the trust towards the opposition is determined by the difference
between its speeches and actions. No matter how objective the grounds for
the non-correspondence are, the society wants results. I will bring a
concrete example: the largest oppositional group of supporters had the ANC
when it used to demand snap elections. Having no opportunity to achieve
their goal, they failed to preserve the trust. Tomorrow, the oppositional
forces will have to face the loss of the next portion of supporters. The
crisis is determined by the urgency of changes that the society wants but
can't see.
Should new changes be expected from the civil society?
Changes can be expected from every force, which is ready to say a new word
in the political field and to prove with its actions that its words are
true. In theory, the authorities could send to hell all the oligarchs,
seizing legally the social and state good they illegally appropriated,
arrest their criminal brother, relative etc. The opposition can be strong
enough to refuse the fraudulent election processes and send the regime to
hell, in other words, to declare party disobedience. Since, both ways I
mentioned, are revolutionary and the sides are not ready for them, then the
citizens have to assume the situation themselves. The issue is that our
society has never followed such a path since the independence. To, the
whole methodology of solving issues at the civil plane is unknown to them.
But the success of a couple of civil initiatives made the society believe
and hope.
Saro, can Mashtots Park become a place to raise and solve political
issues?
The fight at Mashtots Park had raised political issues even before the
arrival of the groups of dismantlers which only crystallized the political
place since the retaliatory side became the target. The point is about the
criminal-oligarchic pyramid which has brought Armenia to the edge of
collapse. All the citizens, who have at least once been at the Park, know
that here the issue is not a couple of boutiques, but it is a movement
against the criminal-oligarchic clan, which will open the door to the
dismantlement of the oligarchy. Actually, the door is already open. You can
see what's happening in the Linguistic University after Brusov.
Do you mean the students also stood up and the Occupy Baghramyan 26 is
close? But the students are massively enrolled into the Republican rows.
I think that the citizen of the Republic of Armenia has waked up. The
students are the birth of the independent Armenia which is deprived of
Soviet stereotypes and fears. While, the fact that students are enrolled
into the Republican Party only deepens the crisis and brings the explosion
and the new beginning closer. The self-determined citizen doesn't aspire
to
the power and I think it will hit the power in a completely different
place.
