SYMBOL OF ENDING EPOCH
Defense of the Covered Market from the oligarch who owns it is the
symbol of present-day Armenia.
The country is like a big market where everything is bought and
sold and where nothing is produced, only resold. Now as European
integration is underway, the market is turning to a supermarket,
comfortable and clean.
The owner of the market Samvel Alexanyan is the symbol of the ending
epoch: a person who has nothing except the aptness of being in the
right place at the right time and giving money to the right people.
The person who has started at the very bottom and crossed the highest
bar was not even appointed to a government post due to his poor
word stock.
The Covered Market is the symbol of Armenia: an architectural monument,
ugly looking, a little gloomy, has been suddenly covered with glass
and concrete. It is like Armenia with its old traditions, clans,
idolatry, flattery, which are artificially decorated with European
freedom and democracy.
Samvel Alexanyan's defenders are poor women who are made to shout
things that one would be ashamed of telling neighbors later on,
women who have come to demand jobs. This is the symbol of Armenia -
people deprived of basic things who want to work and they are ready
to sell their souls for the sake of a piece of bread.
The police are the symbol of the weakness of the state which does not
know what to do, is trying be respectful but can't help kissing the
girl's neck. It is like the Armenian state which is created to protect
the people living in this area but serves a few families instead.
And civic activists who are fighting against unlawfulness. They are
the new symbol of small Armenia who hold the future in their hands.
They do not believe in the old idols, they do not believe in
favoritism, to them freedom and democracy are not just mausoleum with
stained glass. They prefer clear glass, clean and light.
The "fairy tale" about the covered market ends as in all the other
fairy tales. They cut the beard of the wicked sorcerer, and he turns
out to be a toothless clown with crooked legs who amuses people.
