Press secretary of the leader of the coalition party Bargavach Hayastan
Khachik Galstyan stated that the pressure on the party is already
evident: there is too much coincidence. "The pressure is evident in
terms of arrests of party members. We are following the development
of the situation, but we will give final assessment of the situation
later", said Galstyan.
The press also reports that BHP leader Gagik Tsarukyan has already
returned to Armenia, called the Chief of Police and asked about the
campaign launched against his party.
The evening, as they say, is no longer dull. The situation should be
somehow solved. Either Gagik Tsarukyan goes on open confrontation with
Serzh Sargsyan, or they talk and decide that they common interests
and it is Levon Ter-Petrosyan to drives a wedge between them.
Against this background it is interesting that Ter-Petrosyan's speech,
in which he did not rule out cooperation with BHP, was issued right
on the next day of the information that the Republican Party and the
Bargavach Hayastan can run in election with a joint ticket. This was
quite a possible plan and Ter-Petrosyan's "proposal" was to prevent
its implementation. The task has been fulfilled at the present moment.
But if Tsarukyan recovers from the "strike" of the Congress, and
the police do not go too far with the arrests, the single ticket
can still take place. Therefore, those, who do not want this, need
"to make anger" Tsarukyan all the time.
Though he tries to be cautious in politics, he is still an eccentric
person. Apparently, Naira Zohrabyan meant this when she warned everyone
"not to play with fire". Tsarukyan may get angry. True, we don't know
yet what he does when he is angry. In politics, he can hardly use the
"anger methods" he uses with his subordinates.
But most of all Tsarukyan can get angry by the threat of property
redistribution or banal expropriation. BHP agrees to cooperate only
with the force that can guarantee the preservation of property -
even by its legitimacy and tax increases. Apparently, the signal was
in Levon Ter-Petrosyan's speech, who said that the oligarchs are not
to blame and we should not prosecute them - they have no other way
to do business in a criminal regime. In other words, Ter-Petrosyan
has promised amnesty to the oligarchy.
Now the issue is whether Serzh Sargsyan will provide guarantees to
the oligarchs.
