  • Army Vs. Criminal Oligarchy

    ARMY VS. CRIMINAL OLIGARCHY

    For the second time the same nuance happened: this time in the tragedy
    in front of the house of Syunik governor. One of the odious figures of
    the ruling power or their relative confronts the army. In Harsnakar,
    Ruben Hairapetyan's bodyguard killed an army officer. In Syunik, the
    one injured in front of Surik Khachatryan's house is an army officer,
    whose brother, Avetiq Budaghyan, was killed in the same incident.

    This is the second time the criminal oligarchy clashes with the army.

    Sure, all is relative, both the notion of clash and the division
    between criminal oligarchy and army, since very often, army
    representatives are also members of the criminal oligarchy.

    But the fact that two segments of the united solid pyramid,
    willingly or unwillingly, face each other, is interesting and worth
    consideration, especially against the background of Serzh Sargsyan's
    recent speeches, in which he said that the army should become the
    axis of state management. Serzh Sargsyan is making an attempt to
    legitimize and formalize the force character of the power.

    For now, the force support of the power was not the army or the
    police, but the criminal oligarchic gangs. No accident, they were in
    the first rows on March 1.

    After that, determined by both internal and external factors, Serzh
    Sargsyan faced the necessity to change the status quo in the system
    somehow. One of the reasons was also his desire to establish his own
    power, since if he kept what he had inherited from Robert Kocharyan, he
    would have just been a vicar. So the change of the criminal oligarchic
    essence of the power became strategic for Serzh Sargsyan.

    He found the solution to this issue in the enhancement of the role
    of the police and the army declaring the latter the axis of the state
    management. In terms of content, it has not yet been expressed anyhow.

    The idea in case of Armenia, which is in an ongoing war, is logic,
    sure depending on its nuances, value base, mechanisms of civil control
    etc. Serzh Sargsyan has not provided other details, because he didn't
    find in them his interest. The only interest he sees is the declarative
    statement about the special role of the army.

    Here, the greater part of the criminal oligarchic system found their
    interest endangered. The point is that being the basis of the force
    nature of the system, this segment had big political power. Once
    ceased being this basis, the criminal-oligarchic segment will lose
    the political power and will have to either obey to Serzh Sargsyan
    and play with his rules, or lose everything.

    Here we can see an evident clash of interests. Despite many cases
    of cohesion of these two segments, nevertheless, in case Serzh
    Sargsyan's policy is continued, the clash of interest of both groups
    is inevitable.

    It is evident that Serzh Sargsyan will have to make huge efforts
    to repress that process; otherwise, no doubt the aforementioned two
    incidents will speed up the process. But Serzh Sargsyan does not need
    that speed, because he does not have necessary resources to manage
    the process at high speed.
