HAKOB HAKOBYAN BLACKMAILS THE COUNTRY

There is a joke. The friends tell a glutton to stop eating, and he
says,`Don’t touch me, I’ll burst, and you’ll be in the shit.’

I wish such situations occurred at tables only. However, the message
of the joke acquires a serious meaning, when this talk takes place in
public life, especially in the political sphere. A similar situation
has occurred in the political life of Armenia. The society accuses the
Republican Party that by rounding up the entire criminal corps and
growing fat at the expense of people this political party is gradually
coming up to its end. And this end will be given by people.

Hardly anyone in Armenia would like to return to the unipartisan
period, especially led by the military criminal contingent. Because
they are pointing to the Republican more and more often that it is
wrong, they can eventually get into trouble because people are looking
through them. This time the daring Member of Parliament Hakob Hakobyan
assumed the responsibility of threatening the public and saying, `If
something happens to the Republican, itwill be the end of the
country.’

Hence, one cannot help respecting the authors of this joke. It is not
accidental that they displayed this vicious logic by using a modest
scene of a feast, because in another scene they would have to say, `If
I end up, I’ll take the whole country (no, not into the shit) away
with me.’ Good for Hakob Hakobyan, he dared to express this cynicism.
Serge Sargsyan would not dareto, he does not have the courage although
he is burning with this desire. What shall we say? This format of
dialogue between the Armenian society and the consolidated criminal is
distressing. It may only mean that comradeship has declared war
against people. This should have been prevented. For this reason there
is no need to have a dialogue with the criminal. The Americans are
right when they say it is wrong to negotiate with terrorists. They
have considerable experience and they know better. If you talk to
them, you aresure to hear something bad. Therefore, they simply catch
terrorists and put them where they should be. And if they resist, you
use force legally. The Armenian society has little experience. But
this situation has occurred before. The regime of the almighty General
Babayan was dismantled at one time, whereas an entire group of
hakobhakobyans used to yell at the country, `don’ t touch the
commander, otherwise it will be end of the country.’ And it is even a
shame to remember those hakobhakobyans. The Karabakh army, in fact,got
rid of the criminal, and the country took a breath and went on. The
end of the regime was not the end of the country, as everyone who
cynically milked the country due to this regime would wish. It was
only the end of their happy private life.

There are other examples from the past. These have a common logic: the
dying criminal blackmails everyone threatening by the imminent end
everyone who won ‘t accept it. Fortunately, it’s all over for it. It
is bad, however, that the generations moving on towards the end do not
learn from their godfathers’ experience. God be with them. The worst
thing is that the public also fails to learn, whereas it is high time.
