    DOES TSARUKYAN EXPECT NO BLOOD IN ARMENIA?

    When the PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan refused to run in the presidential
    election almost at the last minute, first generating together with
    the ANC moods equal to those ahead of the storming of Bastille,
    his decision was explained by the wish to prevent bloodshed.

    It means that Serzh Sargsyan could remove Gagik Tsarukyan from
    government by force. At least the PAP thinks so.

    The PAP is running in the mayoral election. The logic is political,
    not municipal. Vartan Oskanian who leads the PAP list states that
    their victory will end the RPA's monopoly and change the political
    situation, securing checks and balances.

    In fact, the PAP is not afraid of bloodshed in Yerevan. What does
    it mean? Does it mean that Prosperous Armenia will not be keen
    on its victory in the mayoral election in a way it would be in the
    presidential election? Or does the PAP think that Serzh Sargsyan will
    not allow bloodshed for Yerevan and will let the City Hall go to the
    PAP if he appears in a difficult situation?

    For the time being Serzh Sargsyan does not seem prone to compromise.

    The Republicans dismiss any remark about their intention to let Yerevan
    go, and Taron Margaryan is said to have a rating of 60% but even 40%
    votes is enough for victory. Of course, everything will depend on the
    situation as the voting will come closer. However, the fact that the
    PAP is not referring to bloodshed now is eloquent.

    Or maybe the PAP is ready to fight despite bloodshed? In such cases,
    it is important to know whose blood will be shed. In Armenia those
    ready for self-sacrifice and those who are eventually sacrificed are
    not the same people.

    The leader of the PAP has stated ready to stake all for the sake of
    public confidence but he did not say anything about his commitment
    for self-sacrifice. Sacrifice is a popular practice in the political
    field of Armenia in the direct and indirect meanings of the word,
    it is even a tradition but it does not include self-sacrifice. Later
    the political process becomes the victim of sacrifice.

    Perhaps this very tradition made the Western ambassadors break
    the diplomatic protocol and support toughly Vartan Oskanian of PAP
    who would be the "victim" of the electoral process. Most probably,
    the PAP would sacrifice the PAP, allowing the government to arrest
    Oskanian to save the PAP's face.

    The ambassadors may have thus prevented this sacrifice, not allowing
    the mayoral election to become the next hostage of sacrifice, awarding
    the Armenian political class the traditional deliverance against the
    background of the hostage process because not only the society of
    Armenia but also the Western community knows what happens when the
    Armenian political class gets freedom.
