    TIGRAN SARGSYAN'S DOOMSDAY IN HEAVEN AND ON THE EARTH

    It is worthwhile to congratulate the president of the Central Bank of
    Armenia. The experts of the IMF have forecast a 30-35 percent decline
    in the exchange rate of the dollar on the international market. For
    the Central Bank of Armenia, this is another opportunity to wash their
    hands. First one can speak about the everlasting relation between
    Armenia and the international financial market and then go on to
    explain that the exchange rate of the dollar cannot help declining
    in Armenia if it does in the entire world. On the other hand, the
    Central Bank is so independent that it does not need the forces of
    the international market to explain the behavior of the dollar in
    Armenia. Tigran Sargsyan can do without these to explain perfectly why
    the revaluation of the dram against both the dollar and the euro goes
    on. Moreover, Tigran Sargsyan is so independent that he even declines
    to explain anything. And the citizens do not demand an explanation,
    realizing that he is too independent. What can an independent person
    explain? And Tigran Sargsyan appears to have found the formula of
    happiness. The problem is, however, that not everything starts and
    ends with happiness. There will always be something to demand from
    a public official and if the demanders are not the citizens, it is
    surely the end.

    The citizens are right when they do not demand explaining one nuance
    or another of the behavior of the dollar, the dram or another means
    of payment. The citizens are well aware that an independent person
    does not have anything to do with them, even if his position suggests
    it. A citizen understands that someone else should be asked for an
    explanation. And this someone else is sure to demand an explanation
    from the Central Bank soon. Of course, again it will not be related to
    the financial market. They will demand that Tigran Sargsyan explain how
    he is independent in a country where hardly any independence is left.

    It will be very difficult for the president of the Central Bank. It
    is even difficult to explain how it happened that everything is O.K.
    with him, and he is still independent. It will be difficult because
    a situation has occurred in the republic when they demand explanation
    but they have no time to listen to the explanation. As the president
    of the council of the Patriarchal Diocese of Ararat, the president of
    the Central Bank should have a clear idea of this state. It is written
    that thou shalt not swear, let what you say be yes or no. But the whole
    tragedy of the situation is that "yes" told to one will be equal to
    "no" told to another. In other words, the yes will be not exactly yes,
    and the no will be not exactly no. Certainly, Tigran Sargsyan could
    have said that he is not independent, the dollar is independent. But it
    would already be swearing in a situation when he will be urged to break
    all his previous oaths. In other words, Tigran Sargsyan may be judged
    by both the heavenly and the earthly authorities. Being president
    of the diocese council may increase the possibility of God's mercy,
    but at the same time, it will diminish the chance to be a president
    of the Central Bank. After all, the Ararat Diocese is not necessarily
    closer to God than the same Central Bank. Consequently, all Tigran
    Sargsyan can do is not to miss the chance with the government. Under
    these circumstances, the situation becomes complicated, and time
    elapses faster than the "fluctuating" exchange rate of the dollar.

    Where is the government with which Tigran Sargsyan should look for the
    chance, the Republican Party led by Serge Sargsyan or Robert Kocharyan,
    who has kept Tigran Sargsyan president of the Central Bank so far, but
    who will have to bid farewell formally to power in 2008? Formally,
    but Tigran Sargsyan knows for sure what formal and informal means in
    Armenia. Even if he did not know, he learned during the meeting of the
    National Assembly, when one of the oppositionist members of parliament
    shouted abuse at Tigran Sargsyan without feeling shy. The point is
    that it takes 5 minutes from this parliamentarian to become one of
    the "trinity" on the party ticket of Bargavach Hayastan Party. Hence,
    it happened so that Robert Kocharyan's team in the parliament swore
    at him, whereas the Republicans defended him. Or maybe they did not
    defend him if Tigran Sargsyan decided to go and come to an arrangement
    with the parliamentarian, at least to persuade him that even if one
    does not love his neighbor, it is not worthwhile to be so rude.

    Therefore, one should at least know who their neighbor is. And this
    is what they are doing in the government now. Moreover, what they
    demand now is not an "informal" but rather a definite and clear
    neighborhood. Especially for an organization, which controls a
    country's finance, this "neighborhood" is not only desirable but
    also necessary. Moreover, considering that the World Bank controls
    the influx of finance alone, "neighborhood" with the Central Bank
    means control over the financial influx. Consequently, it appears
    that the importance of Tigran Sargsyan in the struggle within the
    government grows. It means, however, that something will diminish in
    return. The degree of importance is such that it won't grow unless
    something diminishes. Well, what would be more suitable to get to go
    down? Maybe the exchange rate of the dollar? Especially that there are
    a number of people inside the government who love the dollar. Hence,
    love is sex, two sexes are a child.
