Apparently, Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law) Party has been promised seats
in the parliament. This is the reason why officials of the party state
they are going to run in the elections separately because their rating
is growing.
Say, the vice-president of the party even stated that those, who once
were offended by the party and left it, are returning. Bisharyan
knows it better who was offended and who returns, but the society
knows that Curley Edo and Lavanda Arayik became OYP members.
These people are outstanding followers of the morals of the current
Armenian system. They would hardly join a party which had no
expectation in the governmental camp or economic quotas. Moreover,
they would join only if given serious guarantees. Otherwise, Edward
Madatyan, Curley Edo, would not spend money to allocate a huge building
to the OYP in Erebuni.
On the other hand, you do not to be sure that these people spend
money for the OYP. They spend for themselves, then for the system
for which the OYP should work. The OYP would not be promised seats
in the parliament just for fun. The party will have to work hard at
the elections to ensure success for itself and for the whole system
and if necessary, it will take pencils and will draw its share of
the election result.
The main function of the OYP at the next election will be actively
drawing the power’s picture, on the other hand trying to ruin the
opposition’s picture. This is the reason why people who corresponded
to a larger, RP caliber, joined the party.
But there is no more place in the Republican Party both in physical
and psychological senses. In tactical sense, it is important to
share the function of drawing numbers, involving the OYP. In other
words, OYP has been written on the fronts of those people, who are
of Republican caliber and who will work to elaborate the RP election
fate. The OYP’s awards will be seats in the Parliament for working
as platform for them.
But, it will be very interesting if the Serzh Sargsyan does not
fulfill his promise to the OYP. Moreover, let it not sound strange,
but the greater part of the society will welcome his “betrayal”
to fulfill his promise and this will be one of the fewest cases,
when the society can praise him for not fulfilling the pledge.
After all, will Serzh Sargsyan need the OYP after the election? To the
contrary, Serzh Sargsyan will need the society, while if he leaves out
the OYP from the parliament, he will receive certain public support.
In exchange, doing so, Sargsyan may offer a tangible service to the
establishment of political system in Armenia. Orinats Yerkir is a
party which got an exclusive chance to engage in politics in 2006,
leaving the coalition. In exchange, OYP did not enter into politics,
but Marco Polo cafe, where Robert Kocharyan was recording something.
Coming out of the cafe, the OYP has against entered in the power. In
the meantime, Serzh Sargsyan needs the power and consequently, the
OYP, in essence, he does not need it anymore. OYP fulfilled its role,
when Serzh Sargsyan had no power and he needed various ballasts in the
power. Now it is necessary to get rid of those ballasts and get power.
And since Armenia is living in a dynamically changing world, in order
to gain power, Serge Sargsyan needs swift actions to improve the
political field. And the absence of the OYP from the parliament would
be such a measure. The point is not about the party and its leader,
but the absolute inadequacy of it to politics.
The political system can take place only when the power no longer
fills it with inadequate subjects. It is wrong to think they help
preserving the power. It is impossible to deafen the course of world
changes with the help of rumors.
It is not excluded that Serge Sargsyan understood all this,
and therefore, people, who in theory, would be in the Republican
Party appear in the Rule of Law, OYP. It is natural that time will
be necessary for getting rid of RPA to Serzh Sargsyan, so you can
share it and throw it in parts. After all, it’s not just Rule of Law,
but in the rest of the stragglers on the course of time people. The
main task is to clean the political space of the Republican Party,
and only this could be the key to power for Serzh Sargsyan.
