The decision on structural change of the government is believed by
some people to be Serzh Sargsyan's horse move that has a purpose of
strengthening his foothold. It is not impossible to do something else
because the moves of the ruling system stem from the interests of the
system.
Note that according to this decision the Ministry of Territorial
Administration and the Ministry of Emergency Situations will be
united, and a ministry of international economic integration and
reforms will be created.
The integrated ministry will be another security agency among many
other security agencies created by Serzh Sargsyan. The system of
territorial administration is the core of continuous operation of the
machine of reproduction of the ruling regime and election fraud. When
the rescue service is added to this, the picture becomes complete.
The other new ministry is an agency the purpose of which will be
coordination of economic and financial projects and contacts in the
new integration setting, thereby becoming superior to the other
economic agencies. In fact, the new agency will "centralize" the
economic ministries, ensuring redistribution of capital and security
for the ruling system.
Interestingly, this decision was made after the news on the meeting of
Serzh Sargsyan and Gagik Tsarukyan. Earlier the three non-governmental
forces demanded early parliamentary elections and announced to set up
local headquarters to "mobilize" people when needed. Tsarukyan
understands that the destiny of "elections" depends on the regions,
not Yerevan.
And now Serzh Sargsyan intends to create an agency which is endowed
with security-rescue force component. Besides, Hovik Abrahamyan is
thus removed from territorial administration. Hovik Abrahamyan started
his "nationwide" career from territorial administration, assuming the
rule of "permanent senior electoral fraud specialist". Currently, with
struggle going on inside the system, Hovik Abrahamyan could continue
the coup of April if he went towards "elections" together with the
three forces and ensured his further tenure. In fact, Hovik
Abrahamyan's role in the system may diminish in the result of this
decision.
No details of Serzh Sargsyan's and Gagik Tsarukyan's conversation are
known. The only thing that is known is that an early parliamentary
election may be expected in June 2015. It should not be ruled out that
domestic and external problems have occurred which must be resolved
somehow. Apparently, the latest steps are directed at preparing for
early elections, and Serzh Sargsyan is taking actions that are aimed
at establishing full control over the electoral resources, the
electoral machine and the financial-economic basis.
This process has a deep aspect and can be considered as one of the
stages of "transfer of government" and "heir of throne" operation.
What can the three forces and Hovik Abrahamyan use to counteract to
this? Perhaps other means are needed for "change of government",
namely public support, modern ideas and mechanisms but these are ruled
out as no such issue is put forth. The problem is to crave for new
positions within the framework of internal arrangements. The three
non-governmental forces are talking about this. However, the
government dictates the rules, which has many more resources and more
"legitimacy" to use them.
The other way is clashes that may succeed only in case of a massive
defection and, most importantly, if the army and the police take to
the side of the opposition.
Such dilemma occurs in case the constitutional mechanisms in domestic
life have been destroyed. Who is going to deal with this? There will
be a change of government only if this problem is resolved.
