PARADOX OF SERZH SARGSYAN'S INDEPENDENCE
2013-04-22 23:11:59
The U.S. State Department published its annual human rights report for
2012: to avoid harsh assessments of Armenia failed. In particular,
the report highlighted the inherent deficiencies and omissions in
Armenia, the restriction of citizens' rights, the lack of transparency
in government and the growth of corruption risks. Besides all this,
the report turns to a limited and dependent on the situation judicial
system of Armenia.
Although the report deals with human rights for 2012, however,
unequivocally, it resonated also February's presidential elections
in Armenia and in particular, the results.
But what happens: first, the President of the United States is
becoming one of the firsts, who congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on the
re-election as the President of Armenia, and then a few months later,
report "saturated" with such negative evaluations on the direction
of Serzh Sargsyan and in general about Armenia was published.
This paradoxical phenomenon in all likehood is being repeated. That
is, the United States, once again recognizing the legitimacy of the
presidential elections and the power of Serzh Sargsyan, however,
shows RA authorities list of their demands and requests waiting for
"appropriate respond" by the authorities of Armenia.
In this situation, policy, adopted by the USA, is quite optimal:
the presence of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern, as a major
factor to some extent is already something like a straitjacket,
which, despite his inferior activity may be a driver of change and
the guarantor for changes of U.S. policy.
Today, the USA is not only directly intervene in the internal affairs
of Armenia, which in reality is not permissible, but also once again
shows those trumps, which deprives Armenia of proclaiming it.
Thus, it appears that those external forces, "involved" in the
internal affairs of Armenia, using their leverage, limit the term of
the President of Armenia, as well as the independence of the Republic
of Armenia.
