Serzh Sargsyan In `Grey Cardinal' Logic
After the meeting of the RPA Executive Body opinions were heard that
no one was reprimanded during the meeting, but the Republicans just
discussed issues and decided their position in similar situations. It
is almost the same as if Serzh Sargsyan reproved the others and said
not to act independently any more. In other words, Serzh Sargsyan
seems to have ensured control over each phrase and word of Republicans
and representatives of the government.
Serzh Sargsyan, unlike Robert Kocharyan, is not a lover of sharp steps
and tough statements. In the independent Armenia, he has always had
the role of the `grey cardinal' which does not suppose for sharp or
tough way of action, at least in public.
But in the position of the president, Serzh Sargsyan can't allow
himself the methods of `grey cardinal'. The status of the president
supposes for at least minimal public activities including expressing
position on political processes within the government.
The consultation in the president's office was determined by this
necessity, with which Serzh Sargsyan aimed to show that he controls
the situation, the actors and no one can ignore him.
The Republican executive meeting is Serzh Sargsyan's `cardinal' sphere
where he tries to solve everything without unnecessary rumor. The
executive meeting can be considered a gathering of `equals', where
Serzh Sargsyan should present the grounds of his public activities for
everyone to see that he had all the grounds to treat Ishkhan Zakaryan
as he did proceeding from systemic necessity without wanting to
humiliate him.
It is hard to say whether Republicans believed Serzh Sargsyan or not.
Naturally, they will make no statement about the meeting. But such
meetings will not lack because Serzh Sargsyan will always need shows
determined by internal and external factors, which will arouse
necessity to explain.
Serzh Sargsyan fails to be the `first number' in his power. One of the
reasons is the environmental complexes and the absence of internal
harmony. Serzh Sargsyan seems to prefer the role of the `second
number' not allowing his competitors to play their game.
No accident the most common assessment to Serzh Sargsyan's power,
which does not differ from Robert Kocharyan's in terms of quality, is
the uncertainty and unpredictability, of which even Sargsyan's close
people complain.
This is the inevitable consequence of the fact that the person with de
jure power, is still the de facto `grey cardinal' who is afraid of
competitors and of the de factor power. When the de jure power does
not try to set up a de factor power but is engaged in depriving their
opponents of that possibility, the main characteristic of the
situation becomes the uncertainty and unpredictability, which is more
dangerous that the lowest-quality certainty.
