The non-governmental circles of Armenia are preparing for the next
wave of change of government. Apparently, this is the reaction of
these forces to Serzh Sargsyan's intention to the join the Eurasian
Union. If Serzh Sargsyan's positions on membership to the Eurasian
Union and Karabakh are not disputed, only change of government remains.
The "domestic scramble" of the recent years has one peculiarity. The
claim for change of government is the only "weapon" of the political
forces. This necessity is explained by different reasons at different
times which are objectively studied at the president's administration.
Afterwards the president's administration works out steps aimed at
formal elimination of those reasons, and the political forces set
out to seek for other reasons.
For example, during European integration Serzh Sargsyan was accused
of spoiling relations with Russia, then for the mandatory funded
pension introduced by Tigran Sargsyan's government. Serzh Sargsyan
dismissed Tigran Sargsyan, renounced association with the EU and
"set up" full relations with Moscow.
Appeals for change of government have resumed. The non-governmental
forces have a new scheme. Serzh Sargsyan has spoiled relations with
Moscow to such an extent that Putin made friends with Aliyev. Armenia
needs a new government which will regain Russia's trust. In other
words, the purpose of the change of government is to regain Russia's
confidence.
Besides, Armenia joins the Eurasian Union on humiliating conditions,
deprived of its voice, not as an equal partner.
The demands of political forces and Serzh Sargsyan's readiness to meet
their demands for the sake of sustainability of his administration
ended up in loss of sovereignty of Armenia, an incapable government,
loss of support of the West and the Diaspora. Most men have left the
country waiting until someone changes the government.
In his latest article Levon Ter-Petrosyan has set a new deadline. He
wrote that the upcoming referendum on constitutional reforms must
be used as the last refuge to vote no confidence to government. This
means that the plan has changed because a few months earlier the plan
was to vote down the government program and disband the parliament.
Apparently, Gagik Tsarukyan has decided to give time to his relative
prime minister, and now the revolution is postponed for an indefinite
period. It means there is no need to expect a change of government
if the referendum on constitutional reforms is not held.
