TO THE POOR DANCER…

June 8 2013

The Armenian football team lost one of the world’s weakest teams in
its own field. I have not seen the game, but I’m sure that “our guys
have shown a beautiful, scenic football, have called all the tasks
of the coach to life, have accomplished all the arrangements of the
training program in 102.2 percent.” This is, of course, only sport
where everything is possible. It is not about the actual results,
but about substantiating or justifying these results. We tend not
to discuss the real reasons for poor results, usually, we focus on
personalities. However, in this case, such an explanation is illogical;
two years ago the Armenian team with the same coach, same Federation,
and almost the same football team has had success. So there are
other reasons that no one is in mood to discuss. In addition, it is
more advantageous to shout “go away” in addressing someone, you will
immediately appear in the list of ‘braves” and “patriots”. The reports
of the Ministers at the National Assembly proceeded approximately as
such. The officials, holding the papers in their hands, were reading
some numbers with some percents, but it’s probably not a secret that
in every aspect of our life the situation, to put it mildly, is not
satisfactory. And, naturally, any normal Deputy of NA and citizen is
interested why the situation is like that.

The answer approximately is as follows: “We are working on.” For
example, one of the Deputies is asking “how come that several U.S.

states have adopted the “Khojalu genocide”. The answer of the Deputy
Minister of Foreign Affairs Shavarsh Kocharyan: “We have published
a pamphlet and a DVD about Khojalu”. Another NA Deputy is asking how
it was that the industrial fishing of whitefish in the Lake Sevan is
prohibited, but the lake whitefish are sold everywhere in the streets
of Yerevan. The answer of the Minister of Environmental Protection
Aram Harutyunyan: “We are cooperating with law enforcement officials”.

And so on. They are working on, in other words, they do not spare
efforts and energy. But why they fail, no one goes deep into.

Including the opposition. They say, – “Go away and that’s it.” Well,
now imagine that you work in a place and you do not get a salary for
two months. Do you really care what heroic efforts the director or
the owner applies, and what objective obstacles he encounters? Aram

“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
