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.
