OSKANYAN AND "SKINHEAD PRESS"

Last week Vardan Oskanyan, the minister of foreign affairs of
Armenia, made an unprecedented statement about the internal political
developments in Armenia. It is not clear what made the foreign minister
take that step. For in Armenia they do not announce every day that
a political reform is necessary, which not only intends to upgrade
the country but also strikes the economic and political interests of
the elite.

Considering that Mr. Oskanyan emphasized for several times that
his words must be viewed from the point of view of international
developments, his words appear to be quite serious. We do not think
that someone perceived his words as a joke. It became clear from the
reaction of a number of opposition newspapers "washing the shores" of
Serge Sargsyan. These newspapers, which have been recently referred
to as "skinhead press" very typically, tried their hardest to hide
Vardan Oskanyan’s statements "terrible" for their boss.

Well, it is already good that they understood what Oskanyan said. It
is bad, however, that now they again failed to draw a conclusion for
themselves. And now, as it usually happens, they will say we did not
know how it happened. Oskanyan is perhaps happy that he could convey
the "challenge" to the "elite". Reading his statements is useful for
the "elite", the others understand everything perfectly.

They also undersand that the "skinhead press" serving the criminal
downplays street skinheads who threaten unbiased reporters. They can
also understand the fear of this press that it is also going to undergo
the second surge of reforms in Armenia. Go "reform-Oskanyan"! Skinheads
cannot stop you.
