    WHO'S NEXT "BLOOD DONOR" FOR CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT?

    The Armenian public administration system has already denied the
    Constitutional Court for three times before March 28 regarding the
    mandatory funded pension.

    Earlier the State Revenue Committee and the Central Bank, and
    afterwards the Ministry of Finance announced that funded pension
    payments are mandatory.

    Interestingly, with those statements of these bodies, the body named
    Constitutional Court never ever reminded about its own decisions that
    non-payment of funded pension will incur liability.

    Hence, the government agencies are telling the citizens that they
    don't care about the decision of the Constitutional Court and since
    they have decided that the funded pension is mandatory, the payments
    are mandatory.

    On the one hand, such behavior is psychological pressure on the
    citizens to defy the decision of the Constitutional Court and make
    their payments "just in case" to avoid any trouble. After all,
    Armenia is not a country of law and the citizens may mean that if
    the SRC, CB and MoF ignore the decision of the Constitutional Court,
    they will ignore the decision of any other court.

    On the other hand, besides the psychological pressure on citizens,
    there is pressure on the Constitutional Court and the head of this
    structure Gagik Harutiunyan.

    The government agencies which have made their statements on the
    mandatory funded pension certainly did it upon the consent of the
    political leadership. Hence, there is a political decision to "deny"
    the chair of the Constitutional Court Gagik Tsarukyan.

    It is not clear what Gagik Harutiunyan has done. It is not clear
    why Serzh Sargsyan is allowing the government agencies to "deny" a
    person with whom, aside from a political relationship, he has a family
    relationship. Obviously, however, Gagik Tsarukyan is being relegated.

    It may have to do with March 28, and the government is trying to
    insure itself against an undesirable decision, slightly hinting to
    him that the wave of denial may grow in case the Constitutional Court
    dismisses the law on the mandatory funded pension on March 28.

    Although, it is also possible that the problem is bigger than the
    mandatory funded pension. Armenia is coming close to an important
    stage of dealing with change of president. Armenia has already dealt
    with the same issue twice. Once it was done through an internal coup
    which ended up in October 27 two years later.

    The second was done through March 1.

    Apparently, the change of president in Armenia cannot be resolved
    without blood. First, the blood of part of the government was shed,
    then the blood of the citizens. The ruling system wonders whose blood
    will be shed this time for the third change of president. If the daisy
    method is used, and a lot of issues in Armenia are resolved by this
    method, the third option will be the blood of part of the government.

    The worldview, values, thinking and kind of the government of Armenia
    is not sufficient to work out peaceful ways of change of government.

    The Constitutional Court has a special role and importance in
    the process of change of government. The Constitution not but the
    Constitutional Court has.

    A lot will depend on the decision of the Constitutional Court on
    change of government and forming government in general.

    In this context, the topical issue is to find out who the
    Constitutional Court depends on and who will have influence on this
    structure. Apparently, struggle for the Constitutional Court starts in
    the new stage of domestic developments in Armenia, apparently to avoid
    the role of "blood donor" in the next stage of change of government.
