ROS-ARMENIA, ROS-PRESIDENT, ROS-PRIME MINISTER, ROS-INTERESTS
The "economic debate" between Tigran Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan
arouses a grin. First of all, because Armenia does not have an economy
and therefore it cannot have an economic policy as the three presidents
of Armenia have successfully handed over Armenia's economy and politics
to the Russian state corporations and special services.
The Armenian government announces that the guarantor of the country's
security is the Russian military base in Armenia and CSTO. Armenia's
borders are guarded by FSB's Rosgranitsa. Gazprom buys and sells gas,
RAO UEN sells energy. The nuclear power lant is controlled by Rosatom,
the railway belongs to Russia, recently Rostelecom has appeared which
handles communication in Armenia. According to an agreement signed
with Rosneft the latter will set up a monopoly in the petroleum
market. This means that fuel for aircraft will be supplied by this
company, which for its part reduces the chance for cheap air tickets.
What are the heads of state and government doing in Armenia if it is
all controlled by foreigners? What about the "debate" as to who is
better at managing the assets of local oligarchs and the Kremlin and
making sure they are boosted? Or is it all about who will handle the
"Ros" prefix better?
The difference is not big. Earlier part of the money flowing into
the pockets of a few oligarchs was paid to "slush funds". When they
refused to pay, the money was charged from the citizens of Armenia
directly. This is the thing.
The Armenian economy cannot survive without at least partial
nationalization of sovereign policy and strategic assets. It does
not matter how we are robbed, whether by the criminal oligarchy or
"legitimate" organizations. In the result, the citizens of Armenia
are left without anything that would help develop the economy.
Most importantly, they have not left the right to making decisions
in line with our interests. We act solely for the Ros-interest.
