RPA vice-president, head of the Republican parliamentary group Galust
Sahakyan said Raffi Hovannisian's demand to hand several key offices
and control levers to the opposition is mockery. Galust Sahakyan said
also that Raffi Hovannisian, not having a team, does not have human
resources which are competent enough for those posts. Galust Sahakyan
recalled that the votes Raffi Hovannisian received are representative
of the entire oppositional electorate.
Let us not speak about whether the RPA has competent human resources
for these positions. Of course, taking into account the principles of
appointing officials, the RPA has the biggest human resource capacity.
The principles are servility, criminal or local strongmen, selfless
careerism etc.
More interesting is Galust Sahakyan's statement that Raffi
Hovannisian's votes represent the entire electorate. In other words,
Galust Sahakyan recalls that Hovannisian's votes don't belong to him.
Many others have spoken about this after the presidential elections.
Galust Sahakyan's statement allows supposing that the government is
thinking about enlarging the dialogue with Raffi Hovannisian, involving
those whom part of his votes belong. These forces, according to Serzh
Sargsyan, are the Armenian National Congress, Prosperous Armenia and
the ARF.
In other words, Serzh Sargsyan may put forth the option of national
unity which can't be dismissed by Raffi Hovannisian, taking into
account even his ability to find solutions to difficult situations that
seem illogical at first sight. The authorities may render negotiations
a confusion causing competition "on the other side of the table".
At the same time, though, it is not ruled out that Galust Sahakyan's
message is not for Raffi Hovannisian but for Serzh Sargsyan. The
so-called "old guard" of the government sees threats in the possible
negotiation between Raffi Hovannisian and Serzh Sargsyan. The PAP
is quite a familiar party for this guard, so it is crisp and clear
that they would prefer familiar PAP and not Raffi who has come from
"foreign coasts".
The old guard hints that it is going to demand PAP's participation
in the negotiations recalling that PAP also has its share in Raffi's
votes. In case PAP participation is ensured, Galust Sahakyan and the
rest of the guard will feel more secure.
