The government in Armenia is constantly reproduced due to various
reasons. I will list a few of them: 1/ not realizing how it is possible
to live without the state leverages, the government officials, since
1995, do not practice discrimination in the means of being reproduced,
2/ when the political forces participated in the reproduction at
different terms currently are acting against it, it is not perceived
by the conscious people, 3/ most of Armenia's population, to put it
mildly, is indifferent to legality, including the legality to the
elections, 4/ superpowers need elections causing suspicions so that
they can manipulate the government authorities more easily. And so
on. We can keep listing. There is one feature that is also repeated
for more than 20 years. Constantly demanding extraordinary elections,
the opposition is unable to be prepared for the next elections
properly. Perhaps, the opposition would not like what I say, but
it's a harsh truth. The mechanism is simple: resources, forces,
time and words are spent "in-between" the elections, hot falls and
hot springs are promised; as a result the next elections are coming,
and the government still with popular methods achieves success. This
cycle, in fact, ends up with a new wave of migration. There has
never been an opposition in Armenia, which has said, "We're going to
have another elections." Our oppositions have always said, "Soon,
we are going to do a change of regime." This time too, I'm afraid,
the oppositions are close at standing on the same rake. The year of
2014 is almost over, the next parliamentary elections will be held
in February 2017, the time is actually not much. If the opposition's
intentions are serious, they should act. The idea for the establishment
of HQs is absolutely correct in the sense of the next parliamentary
elections. Why is it important to do it today? Because the Republican
Party has long ago established its "HQs". These are all schools,
all kindergartens, universities, public clinics, all Governors'
administration offices, the vast majority of the villages and urban
municipalities, electric network and gas offices, departments of tax
offices and law enforcement agencies, and so on and so forth. The
government authorities diligently deny that there is such a thing,
but this obvious unlawfulness is also a harsh reality. The only way
for the opposition, keeping the peaceful pressure on in the street,
is to negotiate with the government, getting as many advantages as
possible ahead to the next elections.
Recently, I read an article, allegedly such negotiations have already
begun. Although the author of the article talks about it in negative
emotions, I think, if there is such a process, then it can only be
welcomed. Politics is not the art of the possible, but also a range
of transactions. This is also a harsh truth.
