SEIRAN OHANYAN HAS NO PLACE TO RUN AWAY
The minister of defense Seiran Ohanyan has also expressed his opinion
on membership to the Customs Union. In addition, he stated his opinion
after the Minsk summit when it was obvious that Armenia is just a tool
for the members of the Customs Union to settle their accounts. After
all this the minister of defense could at least keep silent, at least
saving the reputation of the last of the top government officials
of Armenia.
However, Seiran Ohanyan does not keep quiet and states that the
decision to join the Customs Union was right. In addition, he brings
a strange justification - geographically we have nowhere else to go.
This statement is nothing but "we have no place to run away". It is
clear that with the quality of the government we have now we have no
place to run away. However, the minister could keep quiet at least,
couldn't he?
Because if the minister of defense, one of the heroes of the country
that won the war, announces that there is no other way out, a place
to run away, one can hang a big lock on or cross out the victory,
its physical and psychological result.
The point is that there are government positions whose mission
is to demonstrate that there is a way out even if there is no way
out. In fact, all the government positions have such a mission, and
the society should be such everywhere. Despair and its confession are
the end of the state, society and individual, depriving its existence
of a meaning. The minister of defense of any country, especially of
a winner country, has no right to tell that we have no way out.
Meanwhile, Seiran Ohanyan does because he is the soviet army officer,
not the minister of defense of independent Armenia. Nobody expects
or obliges Seiran Ohanyan to withdraw Armenia from the Customs Union
or make statements against the Customs Union or take Armenia anywhere
else. But he can keep silent, can't he?
The guarantor of Armenia's security Russia has left no other way
out to Seiran Ohanyan. This is an important question for Moscow. No
high-ranking Armenian official should escape the sword of the Customs
Union to make sure that they don't give them a surprise later. It
is not accidental that Ohanyan expresses his opinion after returning
from Brussels where he attended the meeting of the ministers of NATO
peacekeeping missions. Hence, Moscow has demanded that Seiran Ohanyan
make an oath to the Customs Union after the meeting.
It is painful to watch the participants of the victory in Artsakh
justifying capitulation of Armenia to the Customs Union, how they
disseminate despair in the winner society, whether intentionally or
not, just to justify the humiliating decisions they made to hold on
to power.
It is painful to watch the winner general say "look at the agreements
and you'll see the safeguards" in answer to questions on lack of
guarantees that Russia will provide Armenia's security. Seiran Ohanyan
was awarded his PhD in political science a few months ago and he
should know the value of agreement papers amid big political interests.
Yet the question is that the minister of defense should refer to only
his own armed forces when speaking about guarantees of security.
He may think about dozens of guarantors, take innumerable steps to
multiply foreign guarantees but in public he should see only one
guarantee of security of the winner state - the Armenian army.
Meanwhile, Minister Ohanyan is trying to persuade that Russia will
defend us.
