    Whether Bagdasaryan will enter one river twice?

    1 May 2014 - 2:43pm


    Will Artur Bagdasaryan and his Orinats Erkir party will enter one
    river twice or not? After a party exit from the ruling coalition with
    republicans and Bagdasaryan's resignations from the post of secretary
    of Security Council of Armenia this question excites all in Armenia.

    Having entered in 2008 into the coalition with republicans, this
    party, positioning themselves as the opposition, put an end to his own
    opposition. It diligently voted for everything presented and lobbied
    by republicans, actually being an RPA appendage. It seemed that the
    role of the party and personally satellite Baghdasaryan will play at
    least until the parliamentary elections in 2017.

    However, the April resignation of the prime minister Tigran Sarkisian
    changed he serene and orderly life of the coalition. They say
    Bagdasaryan applied for the position of the prime minister which was
    promised him several years ago. And after Ovik Abramyan settled into
    the premier's chair, the secretary of Security Council couldn't find
    how to resign and bring the party out of the coalition. Considering
    the expected changes in the Constitution, according to which the
    republic will make a gradual transition from presidential to the
    parliamentary form of government, the post of prime minister would be
    a tasty morsel. The figure of the prime minister will be the
    predetermining factor in the formation of the internal and foreign
    policy agendas. Considering Baghdasaryan's irrepressible lust for
    power, republicans refusal to grant him the premiership could not
    finish anything else except demarche, which ended with his
    resignation. Baghdasaryan's statement, that President Serzh Sargsyan
    invited him to stay on as Secretary of the Security Council may be
    true. However the ex-speaker of parliament and the ex-secretary of the
    Security Council preferred to go for broke. And the fact that three
    ministers from its party didn't share its views, having preferred to
    leave "Orinats Yerkir" looks quite logical. The Minister of Emergency
    Situations, Armen Yeritsyan, was reappointed to the post in the new
    government. Minister of Agriculture Sergo Karapetyan, according to his
    close ties with the new prime minister, will also remain in office.
    Less fortunate was Minister of Urban Development of Armenia Samvel
    Tadevosyan, for whom even his escape from the beleaguered party did
    not save him from resignation. Declared by Bagdasaryan the motivation
    of an exit of party from the coalition is based on five factors,
    radically changed the situation in the country. Among them Serzh
    Sargsyan's refusal to run for president or apply for a post of the
    prime minister, planned constitutional reforms, the decision of the
    Constitutional Court on the law "On the Funded Pensions", the
    resignation and the formation of a new government.

    Bagdasaryan remembered "divergences between the political vector and
    Serzh Sargsyan's vector" obviously in time, however, precisely not
    owing to "a set collected in Armenia and demanding immediate solution
    of problems".

    The future "Orinats Yеrkir" and personally Bagdasaryana looks today
    foggy. Way into a coalition with the Republicans they are booked now
    and the only exit there is a consolidation with other parliamentary
    opposition. Baghdasaryan has already said that his party is ready to
    cooperate with the Quartet are powerless in the face of the ANC,
    "Dashnaktsutiun" and "Heritage" and "Prosperous Armenia". The question
    is whether his party would be a real opposition force or just once
    more "dilute" the opposition, which is going to present a united front
    against the Republican Party.
