THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE GOVERNMENT, BUT THE SYSTEM
April 4 2014
Starting from today different assumptions and hypotheses will be
voiced as due to which government or "non-government" intrigues the
Prime Minister has resigned, what signals had come from the Kremlin,
and which clan will be possessing the economic (corruption) levers from
this time onward: the same one or a little different one. Even though
all of it is quite interesting, however, this will nowise affect the
life of us, the ordinary citizens. Of course, many people mistakenly
believe that their life depends on how their prime minister or the
government is: competent or incompetent, from the Republican Party or
PAP, "offshore" or "non-offshore". Anyway, this is just an illusion. I
keep insisting that regardless of whether the next government will be
a Republican, PAP, Kocharyan, technical ("professional") or "national
accord" (like Noah's Ark: a pair from each kind), the life of our
citizens will neither be significantly improved nor deteriorated. The
problem is not with the prime minister or the government, the problem
is that the whole government system is criminal, and is created for
corruption and plunder. No single person and no Party can change it;
they will have to do approximately the same as the current government
was doing, and what the previous government was going by deserving
the people's complaints and curses.
And the reason of it is that the vast majority of the population of
Armenia is very indifferent to the state and state institutions. This
main mass is waiting for someone to feed them, or, at the most, will
create jobs for them. If this workplace creates an opportunity to
steal, they are satisfied (although they are grumbling a bit). Such
workplace is the small and big state position. If there is no
opportunity to steal, they accuse the government that "it does never
think about this people," they are filled with jealousy and hatred to
the rich, and, if possible, "flee away" from Armenia. People do not
feel them citizens of Armenia statehood; this is the root cause of
the criminal system. I know that I am not writing populist things,
but it is a fact, the proof of which is on the surface: how many
government officials have been changed over these 24 years.
