Interview with Armine Ghazaryan, ACNIS expert, psychologist
Armine, there is an opinion that the unserious atmosphere around the
electoral process is artificial.
I'm sure it is, and I'm getting more and more convinced about the
presence of this new technology of rendering the electoral process
extremely unserious. It seems to be a suddenly found technology to
save the situation.
The conspiracy theories, the attempt on Hayrikyan, the oppositional
and non-oppositional scenarios, are just a small part of the real goal
which, according to me, is to offer a primitive, ridiculous and
unserious scenario to people at any cost.
After the rumors around Andrias Ghukasyan's step people have
understood that he is a man of word but in order to make the situation
ridiculous, other candidates dwelt on the hunger strike too, someone
went on hunger strike for one day.
This is a method of creating confusion, devaluating Andrias' step and
humiliating his claim.
Who benefits from this confusion?
The government! It has enrolled people who were supposed to shatter
the field of competition and to distract people. He has enrolled a
candidate who is ready for Á sharp change of tactics; I mean the spic
poetry specialist. We can understand from his slogan "God is above",
his speeches and his predictions that he is a well-prepared person
with the aim of rendering the campaign unserious to decrease the
quality and the level of the discussions.
If you look at the situation from another angle, you can see the true
candidates and the true players. The government has succeeded in
getting out of the game even a true candidate rendering him a player
like the others.
Do you mean Paruir Hayrikyan?
I do. Raffi Hovannisian and Hrant Bagratyan managed to stay far from
the last scenario proposed by Hayrikyan also because they were
seriously engaged in their campaigns. The main opponents are Raffi
Hovannisian and then Hrant Bagratyan but the government cannot ignore
Andrias Ghukasyan. The whole theatre is around these three figures.
The theatre is aimed at setting a benchmark, quality where everyone is
equal, or they at least fill the field with their shortcomings.
When people do this fulfilling an order, it is ok but when a serious
and concerned political figure gets involved unconsciously, it's a
pity. I mean Raffi's steps. Shaking hands with everyone, taking the
bus etc. This means people are not ready to refuse the oligarchy and
the "king". In other words, even the level of discussion of the public
with common sense is behavioral. People are afraid of speaking of
changes.
