    DOES KOCHARYAN NEED THE TRUST OF THE CRIMINAL OR THE SOCIETY?

    Lragir.am
    01 Sept 06

    It was apparent that the August 30 news conference of the speaker of
    Robert Kocharyan was the result of fine calculations. It is almost
    beyond doubt that on his birthday Robert Kocharyan wanted to become
    the hero of the press, not only to be spoken about but also to speak
    about the process underway in the country. And though his words would
    be mediated, nevertheless they would be perceived as Robert
    Kocharyan's. Why did they prefer press? Because for the major part of
    the political sphere of Armenia it is perhaps the only available
    media. Available in terms of not only finance but also cognition. They
    do not watch TV because in restaurants the band does not allow hearing
    anything, and they are technically and genetically incompatible with
    the web. Therefore, it was clear to the president that only the
    newspapers are accessible for the most part of the political sphere he
    would like to communicate.

    Speaking about active politics on his birthday, the president in fact
    wanted to show to the government community that even his birthday
    cannot take his attention from the political affairs of the country
    and distract him from the governmental and home political
    processes. In other words, his finger is constantly on the pulse of
    the process, in other words he is still the president of the
    country. It means Robert Kocharyan feels he should confirm this fact.

    For its part, this means that the president is worried by the
    developments underway in the political sphere. And if he wants to
    emphasize that he is the one who may approve or disapprove all this,
    it means he feels that maybe most people think otherwise. Perhaps this
    is the reason why the speaker of the president acted without Serge
    Sargsyan's instruction.

    The anxiety of the president might be determined by two circumstances.
    Either he is concerned that the society may start viewing him as an
    observer or he thinks that the branches of power may view him as an
    observer. The circumstance of the society is unlikely because over the
    eight years of his office Robert Kocharyan has never showed that the
    public opinion about him interests him. Consequently, the anxiety of
    the president is connected with the government circles, who are
    hearing increasingly more forecasts and recommendations, and if Serge
    Sargsyan does not launch an offensive for power until January, after
    January he may no longer believe in the New Year miracle. And the
    president does not have any guarantees that Serge Sargsyan will not
    believe such forecasts and will not decide to give himself a New Year
    gift. And what isthe most horrible thing, the people surrounding him
    may decide to give a New Year present to the `grand master'.

    Announcing that there are no controversies between Serge Sargsyan and
    him, and there are no controversies between Bargavach Hayastan Party
    and the Republican Party, the president is most probably temporizing,
    until January.

    Perhaps he also came to believe that Serge Sargsyan is able until
    January and will be unable after January. And in order to instill
    trust in unity in the governmental environment Robert Kocharyan
    demands facts on the existence of the criminal, in other words, it
    wants to convey to the same criminal` one for all and all for one.
    Will the criminal believe Kocharyan, however? And most importantly,
    will Serge Sargsyan believe the statement that he does not have
    controversies with Robert Kocharyan?

    However, perhaps, this is not essential. The essential thing is that
    by temporizing the president is wasting time, moving in the wrong
    direction. It appeared that at least at the end of the second term
    Robert Kocharyan would quit in accordance with the law, seeking the
    belief of the public, not that of the criminal. To assure that at
    least by the end of his office he was ready to make definite efforts
    to reform the system of governance. He should have tried to make the
    public believe in him, of course, if he is likely to continue living
    in this country and participate in its public and political life.
    Meanwhile, the president is wasting all his opportunities to cultivate
    belief in his actions. And if the same criminal believes him, believes
    and does not attack until January, it will be not only the result of
    accepting and believing but also not considering him to be a serious
    obstacle.
