SERZH SARGSYAN DECIDED TO KEEP SILENCE
The feeling is that Serzh Sargsyan is looking for an excuse to be
away from the country until autumn. He was on holiday over the past
ten days. Having been back from Vienna, he is leaving today for Poland.
Serzh Sargsyan's silence starts being suspicious. It was expected that,
once back from Vienna, he would call a Republican Executive Committee
meeting after which Eduard Sharmazanov would either announce about
Tigran Sargsyan's resignation or he would say that Serzh Sargsyan
had personally registered his offshore assets.
However, judging from his television appearances, Sharmazanov's task
is to deal with the "alternative", and now he is actively convincing
that they built the power together, so they are guilty together.
Serzh Sargsyan has left for Poland and we do not know yet where he
will go from there. Perhaps, he will take a leave and fly to the
United States to mark time. The number one task for the Armenian
leadership is to mark time until autumn.
Only the secretary of Russian Security Council has been able to have
a meeting with Serzh Sargsyan in Yerevan during the weekend. Perhaps,
it is impossible to hide from him. Moreover, the issue of enhancing
security at the Armenian borders was discussed.
It is not known why this issue required such an urgent discussion but
we can presume that the European partners of Armenia demand revising
the agreement between Armenia and Russia on border control. If Armenia
intends to sign the Association Agreement with the EU and to set up
a free trade area, its borders cannot be defended by the troops of
a third country which has tense relations with the EU.
These two months will probably be the most challenging months of Serzh
Sargsyan's tenure. He may choose silence without uttering a word about
Tigran Sargsyan or the Control Chamber revelations but he cannot avoid
two main tasks - reduction of dependence on Russia and prevention of
change of government in Armenia because of the Kremlin. Moreover,
internal vicissitudes in Armenia are the derivatives of these two
tasks.
