Opposition Inside RPA: Criminals V Intellectuals
PAP cannot be opposition, the leader of PAP Gagik Tsarukyan stated
yesterday during the ceremony of consecration of the new church in
Abovyan. He responded to Vartan Oskanian who suggested that the PAP
declare itself opposition.
It is not ruled out that nobody has explained the meaning of the word
opposition to Gagik Tsarukyan. Everyone knows that he is not good at
terminology. For example, he used to be proud of being an oligarch
because `oligarchs help people'. Later he was explained that oligarch
is a bad word, and he stopped talking about it.
It is possible that Tsarukyan will be explained by September that
opposition is not the enemy of the government but the political rival,
and there is nothing criminal about it.
For the time being, the PAP refuses being opposition. It is possible
that the PAP is preparing the ground for forming a coalition
government and nominating the deputy prime minister. Tigran Sargsyan
has stated that several deputy prime ministers are needed, which
requires an amendment to the Constitution.
The opposition must be more aggressive, the U.S. ambassador John
Heffern said. He did not specify who he meant. He may say who the
opposition in Armenia is. `If there is no opposition, we must be
opposition to ourselves,' said the deputy leader of the Republican
Party Galust Sahakyan. Poor Galust, he cannot find an opposition to
make the necessary decisions.
Apparently, it will be necessary to set up opposition inside the RPA,
dividing the party to `criminals' and `intellectuals'. Let the
`intellectuals' act as checks and balances for the criminals. By the
way, since local strongmen were deployed during the election of the
Council of Elders, lots of people concluded that they were Taron
Margaryan's team. And if he decides to run in the presidential
election five years later, he will rely on this team. The
`intellectuals' will most probably nominate Tigran Sargsyan.
Perhaps only Levon Ter-Petrosyan relied on Gagik Tsarukyan as
opposition although he did it in a joke. However, when high-level
politics turns to mockery and irony, it is already a disaster.
