    2013. A Year of Dismantlement of Oligarchy

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    In 2011, on New Year's eve Lragir.am published an article entitled The
    Next Armenian Revolution in which we expressed the opinion that 2012
    will be a revolutionary year because the criminal-oligarchic system is
    cracking and the legal-constitutional awareness and the civic values
    are growing in the society.

    2012 lived up to these expectations. There were two key developments
    in the passing year which marked the collapse of the
    anti-Constitutional criminal-oligarchic system and the establishment
    of the basis for the Armenian constitutional state. The first was the
    victory of the civil society in Mashtots Park. The civic groups were
    able to achieve a brilliant victory by means of the legal ad civic
    mechanism when the system had to retreat and return the public park to
    the society. Later the civic groups achieved several more brilliant
    victories in the protection of public rights.

    In this context, the behavior of the Armenian political parties, both
    government and opposition, was notable. These parties came together
    against the civic society, trying to belittle the importance of this
    event. The behavior of the forces referred to as opposition was
    especially `valuable' for the society in the sense that the society
    lost illusions about the nature and motivation of these forces.

    The second important event was the inglorious political death of these
    forces which escaped from the political fight one after the other on
    the eve of the presidential election. A lot of reasons and assumptions
    are suggested but the deeper reason was the nature and motivation of
    these forces.

    The political forces of Armenia are authoritarian and commercial in
    nature, they have transformed to a political sign and roof for the
    criminal oligarchy, being in financial and other kinds of dependence
    on it. They have acted as a `buffer' between the public and the
    criminal oligarchy which had usurped the public administration
    institutions and opportunities with the help of which the oligarchy
    infringed and ignored the rights of the society. In other words, the
    oligarchy shortened the society of the society with the help of the
    political parties, getting away with the crimes it commits.

    The parliamentary election shed a light on this situation. An attempt
    was made to prolong the life of the oligarchy. And this situation
    dispelled the last illusions, while the death of the political forces
    became a matter of time and a fact. The excuses are mere efforts not
    to let the political veil drop down and to cover up their complicity.

    People cannot be cheated, even if they can do it for twenty years.

    Now the oligarchy has lost its political veil and buffer and is
    standing in front of the society, naked and helpless. In 2013 the
    society will dismantle this peril which has wasted all the resource of
    the country and people's faith in their future and dreams. Then the
    society will establish new political forces which will fulfill their
    main function - establishment and strengthening of constitutional
    norms and mechanisms.

    Happy New Year!
