WAR STARTED: PRIME MINISTER VS. SPEAKER
After the prime minister's offshore scandal the parliament launched
the second part of "Change Prime Minister" action. The Control
Chamber published a scandalous report with its edge pointed at the
prime minister.
First Tigran Sargsyan assumed a defensive posture but now he seems
to be attacking. The minister of finance has found that diesel
fuel allocated for farmers has been stolen. Interestingly, Hovik
Abrahamyan's brother features in this story.
The chain of revelations which was initially aimed against the prime
minister may turn against the initiators. The process may get out of
control. Everyone in parliament and government is marred.
For the time being, the conductor is not visible. Most probably, this
is not an action controlled by one center but a permanent process
which may lead to the crash of the system together with Serzh Sargsyan.
For the time being there are only allegations, and the law enforcement
bodies are not taking any action. Politicians are currently shouting
abuse. However, one legal decision such as Serzh Sargsyan's statement
on check of prime minister's offshore assets will be followed by
claims to check Hovik Abrahamyan's brother and the others.
Both the government and the parliament understand that mutual
revelations will lead to a common crush. Therefore, they will prefer
to reach an agreement at one stage. What will the attitude of the
society be? Will it continue to switch the news channel on vociferous
cases, preferring criminal movies instead which are closer to the
reality? Or will the society ask the question to Tigran Sargsyan,
Hovik Abrahamyan and Aghvan Hovsepyan?
