USED TO BECOME PRESIDENT BY SHOOTING IN ARMENIA
Or who are the real "political corpses" and who needed a clash on
April 9
The April 9 events will be discussed for long. Everyone hurried to
state on that day that Raffi Hovannisian is a "political corpse",
that he didn't go until the end etc.
Earlier, Raffi Hovannisian's movement fitted a different logic from
what we have witnessed in Armenia for decades. It was unusual for the
Armenian society and the political class. That feeling used to deepen
against the background of Raffi Hovannisian's unusual statements
and actions, uncertainty and sometimes also contradictory actions
and words.
On April 9, an attempt to break the new logic was made by those,
who honestly wanted "now" and those who realized the possible
consequences. Even if Raffi was uncertain and contradictory, one thing
was sure: peace methods made the criminal oligarchic system nervous.
This system in Armenia, unlike the political class and intellectual
frameworks, is still the most inadequate and no accident it has
been ruling in Armenia for already 20 years with this or another
"transformations", having usurped completely the vital spheres of
the country.
The system saw his positions decomposing slowly and gradually. The
only way out was the clash on April 9 for which there were all the
necessary preconditions: huge people's wave and people ready to act,
who have been humiliated for 20 years.
The power usurped this system by shooting at people and eliminating
the constitutional mechanisms of forming power. Later, the country was
divided into quotas and "zones" between power representatives and its
servants, depending on the kind of service they provided. Shooting was
a guarantee to avoid anyone "escapes" and the pyramid would be strong
with clearly defined rights and responsibilities. The pseudo-statehood
and pseudo-power were formed in Armenia, which used to act with its
own laws and logic.
The 2013 presidential election threatened to be with no shots: in this
case, the proclaimed president wouldn't have any commitments towards
the system, which would mean collapse with all the consequences
- redistribution of property and "commitments", new agreements,
naturally, on account of the system.
Fortunately, it was possible to avoid bloodshed and shots on April 9.
Let Raffi Hovannisian be the only "victim" about which the
past "candidates who won" announced but never became. Let Armen
Martirosyan's nose be broken, and let the losses be this much. In
the result, Serzh Sargsyan will be the president, who didn't shoot
with all the consequences. This is an invaluable chance for him too.
The essential for the society is that the system was deprived of its
only possibility to shoot which would help it to keep its positions.
The society has the opportunity to come out of the old logic and
vicious framework where the real political corpses are in agony.
