ONE LIVES NOT ONLY CONSTITUTIONALLY BUT ALSO VIA GORIS-LACHIN-STEPANAKERT AND BACK

The Armenian opposition, especially its leading part has always
surprised and will undoubtedly go on to surprise the society.
Formerly, however, the opposition used to surprise by the steps it
failed to take, whereas now it surprises by the steps it takes. It
would occur to hardly anyone to set out for Karabakh in such an
internal political, although relatively hot summer in Armenia.
However, the peculiarity of an idea is that it occurs to very few
people. And it is natural that at some moment Stepan Demirchyan would
decide to travel to Karabakh. One of the ancient races must have had
the custom that in order to know your rival you must know his place
of birth. There must be such a custom, but even if there is no such
custom, one day it should have been born for the first time. After
all, failures make a man stronger and wiser, and after all a man
understands in some year of his biography that one lives not only
constitutionally but also via Goris-Lachin-Stepanakert and back. And
after all, if they come from Karabakh to Armenia and become president,
why shouldn’t they go from Armenia and become president in Karabakh? In
brief, Stepan had a number of reasons to go to Stepanakert, even if
we do not take into account the magic factor of "the first time".
In Nagorno Karabakh he was met adequately, on a president level. It
is true that the press service of Arkady Ghukasyan denied that
Stepan Demirchyan was invited by the NKR president, but at any rate,
Arkady Ghukasyan met with the leader of Ardarutiun Alliance kindly
and willingly. From the point of view of subordination this does
not fit into any logic, because Demirchyan’s visit is not official,
but let the one who will point to a step in the Armenian reality that
fits into subordination and logic be the first to banish Demirchyan
from Stepanakert. Let us leave alone logic, however, not to cut this
essential episode of the Armenian reality from the reality. And the
reality is that recently there has been a tendency of moving towards
Karabakh. Probably, Stepan Demirchyan followed Serge Sargsyan’s words
attentively that we must account for everything to Stepanakert.
Serge Sargsyan went there to given an account for Torino, Stepan
Demirchyan probably will give an account for Great Britain, where
he spent a holiday with his family several days ago. Of course,
it is surprising that a man who considers him president elect of
Armenia goes to give an account to the president of NKR. But Serge
Sargsyan said another thing too. He said one must know how to obey
in order to make obey. In other words, one must be obedient because
they will get the throne, and the powerful will be dethroned. Serge
did not say this, it is written in the Bible, but God is already on
the lips of the Republican Party. They even say the name of God is
mentioned twice in the program of the Republican Party. And several
days before receiving Stepan Demirchyan Arkady Ghukasyan had met with
the Catholicos and spoken about the importance of belief, although it
is not clear belief in who and in what. Probably God sent Demirchyan
to Karabakh, or he was rather sent by the one about the belief in
who Ghukasyan and the Catholicos had talked about. In this case,
the question occurs – why? Say Demirchyan went to Karabakh and saw,
say he understood what was all this about, say he felt reassured,
say he understood the secret of coming from Karabakh and becoming a
president. Let us suppose that it is unattainable for him. What next?
Say he accounted for Great Britain and got back. Well, the secret
is in the return. Demirchyan must return. Otherwise, the "sanctuary"
remains vacant, and anyone may take it.
