Hovik Abrahamyan's Only Chance
The head of the Armenian Association of Political Scientists Hmayak
Hovhannisyan revealed some episodes of domestic intrigues and named
the likely presidential candidate for 2018 in his Facebook post.
Hmayak Hovhannisyan thinks Speaker Abrahamyan intends to run for
president. Hovhannisyan also informed that Abrahamyan has been able to
separate his son's father-in-law Gagik Tsarukyan from Robert
Kochairyan and is using him as a blunt tool for his purposes.
Hovik Abrahamyan has dismissed intentions to run in the presidential
elections, noting that his ill-wishers spread such rumors and he knows
who they are. However, Hmayak Hovhannisyan who was trying to link
Robert Kocharyan's and Levon Ter-Petrosyan's teams in 2012 has a
different opinion.
In fact, the society does not care about the fuss for the post of
president that is taking place among different clans. This may
interest the society only in case some candidate appears who will be
able to withdraw the country from the criminal oligarchic and clannish
schemes of the `three presidents'. Currently Armenia is in a political
stagnation. The traditional political centers that have formed around
the three president are embarrassed. They have common approaches to
most problems, they even have common sponsors, and the only conflict
is over the personality of the president. Currently the clans are
seeking for a new person.
The foreign stakeholders might also be looking for a new candidate.
They have acknowledged their shortcomings in the selection of partners
in Armenia. Although, on the other hand, the West did not have a
choice in Armenia because everything is in Russia's hands. Therefore,
a decision was made to bid on those who had real power. However, the
bid failed, and the need for forces that were outside the pro-Russian
triangle occurred.
Internally, some forces may bid on Hovik Abrahamyan. Hovik Abrahamyan
is a peculiar personality in the Armenian politics. Although he said
that politics does not take brains, he has been able to link the
interests of the country's main actors to himself.
The only thing that he has not been able to see and understand is that
these very players are losing their importance both domestically and
abroad. Besides, Armenia is not isolated, and though the foreign
factor was essential to all the elections, the next elections may
become the quintessence of the foreign political race for Armenia.
Hovik Abrahamyan will stand a chance only in case Armenia is
altogether isolated from the world and becomes a small tribal state
and continues to undergo institutional degradation. Hovik Abrahamyan
with his dazzling career and ambitions is the live symbol and
participant of degradation of the Armenian state.
