The most frequently asked question since the attempt against Paruir
Hairikyan next to an inquiry about his health has been who needed to
harm the electoral process and Serzh Sargsyan's effort to present it
as the best election by far.
There are several possible answers to this question, each of which
is no less substantial. It is possible to seek for "beneficiaries"
both in the country and outside it. The official conclusion will come
over time. It is interesting whether the conclusion will come before
February 18 or Serzh Sargsyan will keep it for the post-electoral
processes.
>From this point of view, Hovik Abrahamyan, head of Serzh Sargsyan's
campaign headquarters, has stated that everything will be done to
reveal the criminal and the political forces that back him.
This statement is interesting not only because the head of the campaign
headquarters of the government's candidate and speaker of the National
Assembly makes it. Hovik Abrahamyan's factor is interesting.
He has an interesting status in the government hierarchy. He is
a bridge between two main poles of the government, the so-called
"previous" and "new" governments.
This status obliges Hovik Abrahamyan to act cautiously and balance
between two poles. Hence, it is interesting that Hovik Abrahamyan
puts away his complementary approach to state that the attempt is
a crime against good election and Serzh Sargsyan, and the crime is
backed by certain political forces.
In other words, Hovik Abrahamyan crosses the bridge, or crosses
himself. This indicates an interesting movement that follows the
attempt against Paruir Hairikyan. In the long run, domestic life
cannot be static, and the question "who needed that" will soon lose
its importance and be replaced by the question who will make the
right decision and benefit from the situation.
And if Serzh Sargsyan underwent the first blow of the attempt against
Hairikyan, he obviously caused the aftershock himself by choosing the
symbolic personality - Hovik Abrahamyan - who speaks the plainest
language for the key segments of the government. Hovik Abrahamyan
was chosen as the spokesman of Serzh Sargsyan in this domestic and
pre-electoral force majeure because the message sent through him
will be understood in all the poles and corners of the ruling system
unambiguously, without misinterpretations.
Serzh Sargsyan thus hints that the attempt has an Armenian origin
but this is not the only issue. Whatever its origin, it is obvious
that keeping the situation under control is of strategic importance
for Armenia. The question that occurs is whether this is the end of
scenario or other surprises will come in time to prevent which Serzh
Sargsyan will have to negotiate with "terrorists" and accept their
conditions or otherwise take the situation under his control and
possibly eliminate or narrow the field for further actions.
