Vartan Oskanian wrote on his Facebook wall that though his nomination
for president was discussed upon the initiative of the PAP leader
Gagik Tsarukyan, the PAP territorial offices want Tsarukyan to run.
Oskanian implies that he will not run.
It~Rs difficult to say what played a role in this. The authorities
have brought serious charges against Vartan Oskanian ~Sfabricating~T a
criminal case against him, which may turn into a verdict every moment.
On the other hand, the logic of the domestic developments has led to
a situation that Oskanian~Rs nomination for president would split or
even ruin the PAP which currently has several wings.
Clash of interests be seen between the PAP wings, as well as growing
controversies. In fact, only Gagik Tsarukyan~Rs nomination will be
a temporary solution for the PAP.
This is interesting to the society if we ignore the fact that
Tsarukyan~Rs nomination will mean that the political bar of Armenia is
again lowered. Tsarukyan is not a bad guy. He has a lot of positive
features but his characteristics has nothing in common with the
politics about which Vartan Oskanian used to speak.
In theory, the society would benefit from Oskanian~Rs nomination more,
which would raise the political bar.
Oskanian has considered several options of his political career:
join a party, set up a party or join the civil sector. Oskanian chose
something in the between. His Civilitas Foundation was in the civic
field, while he joined Prosperous Armenia.
Oskanian understood that he would be asked a lot of questions which
he cannot answer. Besides, no matter how long Oskanian speaks on a new
level of politics, it would be impossible to implement it in the PAP.
Instead, by joining the party Oskanyan had to take into account a lot
of circumstances which have nothing in common with the ~Snew-quality
politics~T.
There is another option as well if Oskanian and his ~Sallies~T are
able to take PAP. But this is a doubtful option since no one will
give away their ~Sportion~T of the huge conglomerate, and PAP would
simply collapse.
Oskanian is trying to keep the intrigue in his statement underlining
the importance of a joint candidate to achieve success hinting that
he could be the best candidate.
Everyone, including Oskanian, understands that the upcoming
presidential election will be the ~Slast~T in one for the
anti-Constitutional system existing in Armenia for already 25 years.
This system is exhausted, and an inevitable crash, not a ~Ssystemic
change~T awaits it. In this sense, Vartan Oskanian~Rs choice is still
wrong, even if he becomes the ~Sjoint candidate~T.
