Gagik Beglaryan: You’re The Oligarch

Gagik Beglaryan: You’re The Oligarch

`Besides being on good terms with the government should the oligarchy
also put pressure?’ the minister of transport and communication Gagik
Beglaryan answered the question of journalists with a question. The
reporters inquired whether he agrees that the oligarchs influence
decision making by the government. `Each oligarch is trying to be on
good terms with the government,’ the minister said.

In other words, is this how oligarchs survive in Armenia?

I don’t know but my personal opinion is: how could an oligarch
influence the government? Never. Nowhere in the world.

But in Armenia the government and oligarchy are coalesced.

You are clinging to words, coalesced, I don’t know what else. Speak
with facts. If coalesced is the same as engrafted, they never get a
good harvest from engraftment, let alone coalescence.

Do you consider yourself an oligarch?

No.

Who is an oligarch in Armenia?

You.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
