Vahan’s Enthusiasm Is Not The Same

VAHAN’S ENTHUSIASM IS NOT THE SAME

The time when the water of the homeland was as sweet as the pomegranate
wine is over. Now the water of the homeland is not only as sweet as
the pomegranate wine but also more profitable than the pomegranate
wine. The public may not buy and drink wine but they cannot do without
water. The ruling elite of Armenia has realized this and turned the
water supply system into a golden stream. French Armenian Artashes
Barseghyan told several days ago in surprise what is happening to
water of the Homeland. The public remained silent and became worried
by his words. But they worried about this poor man who worried so
much rather than the sphere of water supply. Meanwhile, in Armenia
almost everyone knows this and for a long time now. There was even a
monitoring. And the surveyor was the deputy speaker of the National
Assembly Vahan Hovanisyan. The restless Dashnak found out that the
water board spent the loan inefficiently. However, this discovery
remained a mere discovery because Vahan is not as enthusiastic as
he used to be. After the survey of his commission, the head of the
water board Gagik Martirosyan was dismissed but appointed adviser
to the prime minister. In this sense, Vahan Hovanisyan, in fact,
discovered the wisdom and abilities of Martirosyan for the prime
minister, and they decided that it was a pity to waste the talent.

In other words, only the prime minister benefited from the monitoring,
who acquired a new adviser. There was no more news, especially with
regard to the situation. And the situation in the sphere is the
same, whereas Vahan’s enthusiasm is not the same, especially with
the new relatives he has. However, Vahan with his enthusiasm is not
as important for the country as the state of water supply. The point
is that enthusiasm cannot quench thirst or it quenches only Vahan
Hovanisyan’s thirst. And most probably the deputy speaker of the
parliament quenched his thirst and bid farewell to enthusiasm. How
about the others? And the others are still waiting. It is pointless
to expect that they will entitle the citizens in turn to monitoring
of water supply at least to enable them quench their thirst in
turn. Though their turn would come earlier at the fountain of the
central square. Although the monitoring and the fountain quench thirst
differently. Thirst and water are a wide concept, consequently so
is satisfaction.

And in this ambiguous situation a lot of water flows to the pockets
of a number of people. And there is nowhere else to flow. In order to
flow somewhere else it needs pipes. And the pipes leak. If they fix
the holes, the water will flow to apartments and the pockets will
remain empty. Therefore, nobody would like to forget about their
pockets and fix the hole in the public pipe. Especially if this hole
guarantees millions of foreign loans. There is only one way out –
entrust the hole in the pipe to people who do not have pockets.

And there is no need to strip these people. Even there is no need
to replace the people who are presently in charge of the pipelines
and the sphere of water supply in general. Simply they should be
given pocketless uniforms with long stripes resembling pipes. Let
them go on to attend to this sphere in this uniform. The pipes will
be replaced on time and the water will flow where it should.
