In response to a question of www.aravot.am, `You said that Gagik
Tsarukyan played a shell game with everyone, didn't say where the pea
was, and today you say that Gagik Tsarukyan has been terrified,'
Hmayak Hovhannisyan, the President of the Union of Political
Scientists, said: `It was a prophecy that has proved to be right. All
three presidents are deceived by Gagik Tsarukyan. Robert Kocharyan was
deceived, because he was for a competitive election, a competitive
situation and thought that competitive conditions had to be created
with active participation of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP). His
expectations were not met. Serzh
Sargsyan thought - Hovik Abrahamyan convinced him quite well - that
Gagik Tsarukyan would state at the last moment that he would remain
loyal to the president, stick to his signature he had put on the
memorandum in 2011 and would endorse Serzh Sargsyan, which hasn't
happened. This really was a surprise for Serzh Sargsyan, because he
was convinced in that, and members of the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) directed by the same conductor would state that Gagik Tsarukyan
would endorse Serzh Sargsyan. And Levon Ter-Petrossian hoped that
being excited by his political analyses, Gagik Tsarukyan would support
his candidacy. He shuffled all three, all three shells very
skillfully, kept the ball in his pocket at the end and said he would
boycott. That boycott was not in accordance with those plans.'
In response to our question whether it hadn't come out that the pea
was in Serzh Sargsyan's pocket, he said: `No. Serzh Sargsyan realized
that Gagik Tsarukyan had to either participate in the election himself
or, at best, avoid participating and endorsing him. It was the lesser
of two evils for him. Like in Orwell's `1984,' if Gagik Tsarukyan is
asked to sign that he is against the English snobbery just not to be
harmed, no doubt he will do it. This is a characteristic of the
totalitarian regime; nothing can be done against pain. Orwell shows
that.'
