Interview with Tigran Khzmalyan, filmmaker, member of Sardarapat Movement
Initiative Group
Mr. Khzmalyan, a parade of reprimands and arrests has set out, calls for
fighting corruption are made, on the other hand, Vartan Oskanian is
stripped of immunity. What is your opinion on this situation?
In some cases it can be referred to as an electoral campaign because these
things take place in election logic but the words election and electoral
campaign are highly conventional because the election takes place inside
the ruling group. The so-called two parties represent the same governmental
performance, the same play, the same gang. This is not politics because
politics represents the interests of the society. This is against the
majority of our society.
However, some intrigue is there, and I think that the changing situation in
Georgia may have a certain impact on the developments in Armenia. First
implementing the two-party model in Georgia, the West, particularly the
United States, will try to implement the same model in Armenia for which it
is easier to pick a part of the same governmental pyramid, especially that
Vartan Oskanian will be convincing for both outside and inside. There is
not an alternative, there is not a choice, these are personified, economic
rather than ideological controversies. I think Serzh Sargsyan is skilled in
administrative and staff cyclones because he has had a soviet schooling.
Today they often evoke Waiting for Godot by Becket, I would advise those
art lovers who compare theatre and politics to read The Servant of Two
Masters by Carlo Goldoni because Serzh Sargsyan will use the old and
sometimes effective option, involving the West and Russia in the Armenian
electoral process. These are efforts to protect property from the robbed
public.
The second president made a statement after Vartan Oskanian had been
stripped of parliamentary immunity. Will he enter into the electoral
scramble directly?
I would like to go back to theater again as we mentioned theater several
times. It was forbidden to work with dead bodies in the Middle Ages, and
scientists had to create anatomical theaters, and the phrase `anatomical
theater' lived until the early 20th century. People studied the anatomy of
man on dead bodies. This word was used in scientific literature for some
time. I think all the conversations on Robert Kocharyan and other figures
refer to the anatomical theater. If a political faction is set to revive
political dead bodies, all I can do is congratulate them.
Mr. Khzmalyan, you wrote on your Facebook wall that the fourth republic
will be established when values change.
I dream that our children live with real values, real art, real politics
and not with an anatomical theater and a parliament of a theater. We are
guided by false, dead values which is the reason why our life is decayed.
It is necessary to change the values, it is necessary to change the topic
of conversation. A lot depends on it, it is necessary to forget about this
cemetery which is the political landscape of Armenia. This process has
started because I think the 4th republic is not a dream, it is already in
place. I was excited to learn that five or six environmental activists
interfered in the outrageous case the police put up against a man called
Norik Sargsyan, suspecting him of the recent poaching in Khosrov Forest. I
was happy to learn that the environmentalists have succeeded changing his
status, and now he is a witness, not the accused.
These young people protect not only trees and animals, they protect people
and human dignity and real values. I think this is an example of the life
of the 4th republic and activities of its citizens.
The Georgian election indicated a mechanism is in place there. When will
our citizens be ready for an election?
Our society is not worse than the Georgian society. The problem is not
societies but the elite. In Georgia the elite had a slightly operetta
nature but they were proud to mention their nobility. They understood that
the nation is led and ruled by the elite, our elite was dissipated,
expulsed, especially in the last two decades, and unfortunately their place
was filled by the residue of the society. It takes only several hundreds of
people in government to achieve fast and abrupt change. It is possible.
I have stated once that this government is worse than thieves, a thieve
would not rob a nursery school, a pensioner. In our country these people
are legislators and government. The problem is them, and we must solve this
problem soon. The Georgians have succeeded. We have not succeeded yet.
