    PRIME MINISTER ISSUE
    Haik Aramyan

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    The key post-election issue is the nomination of prime minister. The
    press comes up with suppositions and analyses on the next prime
    minister. The most frequently mentioned candidates are Prime Minister
    Tigran Sargsyan, ex-speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, ex-mayor of Yerevan
    Karen Karapetyan and ex-chief of staff of president Karen Karapetyan.

    Tigran Sargsyan is said to be supported by the Western financial
    organizations and the bank lobby. Besides, Serzh Sargsyan is
    said unlikely to replace the prime minister till the presidential
    election, considering the slow but steady movement of Armenia towards
    EU integration.

    Hovik Abrahamyan is said to be a compromise between the pro-government
    forces. In particular, it is mentioned that Prosperous Armenia is
    against Tigran Sargsyan's nomination, and at the same time demands
    this post. However, as a compromise, PAP would approve Abrahamyan's
    nomination who is Gagik Tsarukyan's in-law.

    Both Karen Karapetyans are said to be lobbied by Russia. Russia is
    said to be dissatisfied with the result of the parliamentary election
    of Armenia but has no levers of influence, also taking account of the
    integration of Armenia with the Western institutions, it is trying
    at least to get the post of prime minister by way of one of these
    two figures who run businesses in Russia.

    In fact, all these candidates will act as internecine and a little
    foreign political settlement and have very little to do with the real
    issues facing Armenia. These issues lead to reduced political and
    economic dependence of Armenia on Russia, business diversification,
    fundamental and quality change of domestic and economic structure and
    relations. And most importantly -and introduction and establishment
    of adequate mentality and values.

    The prime minister of Armenia must be someone who can bring
    technologies to Armenia and boost economic development. Armenia
    needs such economy to be a modern and competitive state which will
    help prevent immigration and solve a number of economic and social
    problems. The hindrance to the development of such an economy is
    monopolies in Armenia, the oligarchic structure of the economy,
    corruption, dominant and encouraged values and thinking. Armenia
    needs a prime minister who will be beyond everything.

    As Gagik Tsarukyan says, charity cannot sustain a country. In this
    case, charity is the hookup of problems facing Armenia, and without
    a solution the only way is "charity", the symbol of the Armenian
    reality with its political and economic cause and effect relationship.

    In fact, one cannot sustain a country with charity, nepotism, outdated
    Russian economic methods and banks.
