    OSKANIAN STRENGTHENED GOVERNMENT MONOLITH

    How will the vote to Oskanian's case end? Judging by Galust Sahakyan's
    statements made yesterday, RPA will vote for stripping him of
    immunity. Galust Sahakyan said that it is not up to the parliament to
    make legal conclusions and they had better let the law enforcement
    bodies deal with this issue. Besides, as it became clear, even the
    most undisciplined Republican MPs were made to attend the meeting of
    palriament. This means that the RPA needs quorum.

    The Republican Party cannot vote against the prosecutor general's
    motion. This would mean, first, the end of the prosecutor general's
    career. Second, it would become a precedent of Serzh Sargsyan's
    deprivation of the monolith majority. Perhaps, Serzh Sargsyan has
    initiated all this confusion with the motion for the system to assure
    the monolith remains loyal.

    In this context, Vartan Oskanian's revelations seem naïve. They may be
    "justified" only by the fact that he wasn't born and didn't grow up in
    Armenia, so for him honor is a political criterion. So, he is trying
    to prove his innocence in the parliament. "Honor" for the Armenian
    officials is an antipode of politics, and it is clear that when voting
    the MPs will be led by not what they heard during the debates.

    There are other criteria in the Armenian politics. For instance,
    the same Oskanian said that if he is "handed over" today, the others
    will share his destiny tomorrow. The expression "hand over" was used
    also by the ARFD MP Aghvan Vardanyan.

    The parliamentary majority will vote proceeding from their political
    interests. At this moment, this interest is dictated by the monolith
    at least within the RPA.

    It is true that later the law enforcers may "find out" that Oskanian
    is really innocent, but in the meantime, the monolith will become so
    strong that it will be impossible to save Oskanian anymore.
