PROSECUTOR GENERAL AND "103 THIEVES"

As we had predicted, the next prosecutor general's appointment was
marked with a new act of national unity. 103 members of parliament
voted for him, three voted against him. Two members of parliament
did not know how to tick off their choice. The other 22 members of
parliament were absent. The RPA has a reason to love Gevorg Kostanyan.
Not just because the RPA is not a "pack of wolves" and does what
their leader tells them to do. Simply it is hard times, and nobody
knows from where the wind will blow. And if the wind blows, the RPA
parliamentary group may lose their immunity altogether. The PAP has
voted for Kostanyan. If we assume that 22 absentees were from the PAP
parliamentary group, half of this parliamentary group, nevertheless,
voted for the nominee. And it is no surprise. The contingent that
did not get a placement in the RPA has found a refuge in the PAP,
and if the wind blows, it will find itself in a similar situation. The
Congress, ARF and Heritage go without saying. It happened that these
three parties catch up with their "senior colleagues" in terms of
hypocrisy. This is how it should be, and it is no surprise. The final
stage of degradation of Armenia's political system is underway, and
this is the only positive aspect of the decision on joining the Customs
Union. It turns out that the problem of power can be resolved by way
of giving the country away to Russia. One only needs to be the first
to do it. The system is unable for more but so far it has covered
its essence with demagogy on change of government, constitution,
bourgeois-democratic revolution and other things. After September 3 it
is totally naked, and has realized that the only thing to do is not to
anger Putin. Therefore, everyone who promised something this fall has
frozen their plans due to "change of situation". Moreover, something
terrible has become clear to the political system. After September 3
Putin does not need them any longer. And the most terrible thing is
that even Serzh Sargsyan does not need them. Only perhaps for unanimous
affirmation of Gevorg Kostanyan but not more than that. Meanwhile, hard
work is awaiting Gevorg Kostanyan at the National Assembly. If he is
genuinely committed to the rule of law, he must solicit the parliament
for at least 103 times for stripping members of parliament of immunity.
