WHAT THE OPPOSITION WANTS

Many people in Armenia are wondering where the opposition is and if
there is an opposition at all. The opposition asks back where people
are, and if they really want to change something in this country.
>From the first sight it seems normal when people wonder if there is
opposition, and the opposition wonders if there are people.
But the opposition seem to have decided to change their relations
with people. This approximately sounds like democracy is something
that you need, a civil society is something that you need, hence you
have to initiate and to act.
The opposition have started talking to people in this mode. When on
March 11 one of the outstanding representatives of the opposition
Hovanes Hovanisyan was asked at the Azdak club why the opposition
delays bringing into being the initiative Civil Armenia Movement,
Hovanisyan said people do need all this and people must be the
moving force.
In other words, you live bad and you are to be interested to change
everything, for they have always solved their problems and will later
on do. Do people want changes, do they want to live better, do they
want justice? I wonder what the opposition wants. Of course, better
life, but if changes are necessary for it, let people make changes,
if they need justice, let people seek for justice.
Changes, justice. What for if they do without these very well. For
instance, Artashes Geghamyan had no problems renting the hall of
the meetings of the government and swearing at the government
with the fables of Aesop. Sitting in the hall of the PACE in
Strasbourg, Stepan Demirchyan did not have pains in the heart from
the memories of the life of people full of injustice, poverty, and
what not. Aram Karapetyan has a son in Moscow, so far away from his
beloved Fatherland. Raffi Hovannisyan would not go to the court of
law although the Public TV channel accuses him of wasting the money
of the Diaspora. Hrant Khachatryan says as an ombudsman he was a
predictable person for the government. Aram Gaspari Sargsyan has
decided from out of nowhere that Karabakh is first of all. Victor
Dallakyan would not state that he is not going to be member of the
political party of the pro-governmental oligarch.
Aram Zavenich is left, who goes to the reception at the U.S Embassy
with Serge Sargsyan, so that when the Brabus of the defense minister
parked in front of the Embassy, the Americans would see that not
only the government rides in a Brabus but also the opposition,
and the revolutionary plans of Aram Zaveni Sargsyan do not have a
social context.
After all, Yegisheh Charents would appear to have been right to tell
that the salvation of the Armenian people is their collective force.
The rest are hired workers, they do what they are told to do. Thus
the opposition became a mercenary. If people demand nothing from the
opposition, the opposition will do what the government wants them to
do. It does not matter whose tasks the fulfill. It is important that
the hirer is generous and punctual.
