There are chances
July 27 2013
The success of the movement against the rise of public transport, at
least temporarily, even the so-called `landmark', arises natural
question whether it is possible to develop this success in other
areas. In particular, it is possible to do this kind of pressure to
contribute more or less fair elections, which, agree, is the
foundation of many problems. Maybe 5 years ago, I would gave a
negative answer to this question, but in the last few days seeing our
wonderful young people, now I'm inclined to more optimistic mood. Of
course, 100 or 150 drams and fair elections are questions of different
`weights', and those who manipulate the elections in the past 18 years
and intend to continue in the same way, are going to resist in the
fierce form. But, first, this issue should stir the interest of our
young activists, I do not know whether they understand the importance
of the issue, or not. But if they are interested, then the concept
should be, probably, the following: We do not care who want to become
a president (assuming we are talking about the presidential
elections), Communists, fascists, liberals, or homosexuals, we are not
interested in their programs, we are not concerned about what crimes
the candidates did 1, 10, 20, or, let's say, 106 years ago. For us, it
is not important whether they have leadership experience, volitional
qualities, or not. We are interested in only one thing that the
president is elected by people's voting. With such a concept, young
people have a chance to promote fair elections. They will find the
ways to achieve this goal, it was confirmed by the actions of last
week. But as soon as they say, we do not want Paul, but Peter, they
will be part of the party-team games, with their special paranoia. It
will be what has been since 1996, I am a `poghosyan', you're a
`petrosyan', do you know that your Poghos is such-and-such, and Petros
was such-and-such. It is not a political movement, but a `youth wing',
with all its consequences. Moreover, we need to fight for fair
elections now (if, I repeat, there is such a desire), and not after
fraudulent elections. The Central Election Commission shall announce
the name of truly elected president, just as Taron Margaryan has
officially suspended his decision. After CEC `wrong' announcement,
shaking fists, as the experience shows, is useless. And why all this
can be done, especially by young people. Because, so far there are no
doubts in the purity of their intentions. They must not let impure
`uncles' approaching them.
