Rule Of The Mob
Armen Yeritsyan, candidate for mayor of the Rule of Law Party could
not help calling heads of communities of Yerevan and their people
deployed on the election day as `whelps'. The member of the government
told the truth in an outburst of frankness.
The mob is the `third' column of the government of Armenia. The first
is the oligarchy, the second is the so-called political parties and
statesmen and the third is the mob. During previous elections, this
hierarchy was preserved with the help of conveying some `seriousness'
to the processes, but at Yerevan Mayoral elections, the mob was pushed
to the first plane. The power did it in order to decide the latter's
role in the future processes.
The series of `absolute victories' has marginalized the Republicans
and the bigger the invented number of votes received at elections, the
more people turn their back to the ruling party. The Republican Party
and the oligarchy are losing their supporters even within the
government. Besides, in the result of `absolute victory', the
governmental oligarchy and RPA have also lost an important thing which
used to be the political veil for processes -the political parties.
These used to be signboard to eliminate the rights and lawful claims
of the society. Even the RPA has stopped being a signboard. Galust
Sahakyan of the RPA said that RPA will rule as long as the country is
at war.
Due to historical circumstances, Armenia has always been and will be
at war. Actually, Galust Sahakyan applied for an eternal term. For
this purpose they need resources and support.
Resources are available and in order to keep them the government will
resort to all kinds of things. It will boost taxes, establish
monopolies etc. As to supporters, the mob and the whelps have been
tried out to replace political parties and other legitimate layers,
through which the regime keeps its power.
Armenia has never had a government as such. Elites that replace each
other are unable to come up with effective solutions to challenges to
state building and to regulate public affairs. Instead, the issue of
occupying power and controlling public wealth has been solved somehow.
The role of state and political institutions has been reduced to
serving the interests of small governmental groups.
As a result, a pseudo-state has been formed where democratic
mechanisms, mechanism of forming government and constitutional basis
of government have been eliminated. Parallel to this, the qualities of
government degraded.
The first government of intellectuals educated in the empire failed to
resist the ambitions of the internal military-feudalistic circles and
the `fascination of initial accumulation of capital'.
The `second column' of the empire eliminated the rule of
military-feudalistic groups and formed the `kleptocracy', the rule of
criminal oligarchy with a clearly defined hierarchy and quotas which
managed to take the system down to the ordinary citizen involving
everyone in the philosophy of `contract'.
The `third column' is coming to replace the kleptocracy, the mob,
which enhances the status it had in under the kleptocracy.
Unlike the first and second columns of the empire, the third one does
not preserve the external veil of propriety. Even those who were
called to maintain the veil are unable to do it. Degradation is so
visible and deep that it is impossible to impart the processes with
`seriousness'.
Relying on the mob can't last long.
