Regular Intrigue

REGULAR INTRIGUE

If our nowadays authorities have omitted in several political and
economic fields, we may surely say that they are excellent in carrying
on intrigues and gossips. In comparison with them Machiavellian
was simply a child of nursery school. It is known that the lack of
intellect is made up by slyness, and the sly ruler can swindle easily
a dozen officials.

Slyness considers some settlements, which assist in strengthening the
authority. What is easier; to raise the minimal salary, for example,
100 thousand Drams to provide people’s dignified life or not to allow
any TV Company to tell about the real life. If you can’t subdue the
truth, you subdue the mirror, which reflects it. Or what is easier
to form a vital political system where the projects and ideas will
rival or to destroy opposition parties with the help of intrigues to
make the selection among 2,5 pro-authority groups. The first isn’t
only difficult but it isn’t also profitable for the authorities.

The representatives of the ruling clique know very well the power
of human small passion: vanity and mercenariness and they use that
power to destroy the parties. Communist Party and NDU were destroyed
in that way, which was a serious blow to the political system
of Armenia. Communist Party is a party with its ideology and that
ideology was capable to unify certain strata of our society. Nowadays
communistic parties have no power. And the separation of NDU Party
caused to the fact that one of our famous politicians; Vaszgen
Manoukian is produced as expert who make right analyses but not as
the leader of political power.

Now it’s time for Constitutional Right Union. The explanations of
both sides aren’t complete and it is difficult to understand what they
want. But it is obvious that the current situation is profitable for
the authorities.

I didn’t speak about it if "Iravunq" newspaper, one of the oldest and
popular newspaper of Armenia wouldn’t find itself under danger. I’d
like our partners to solve this problem and don’t include this dispute
in the inter party dispute. All readers and our press will only gain.
