LISTEN TO GALUST ALTHOUGH WHAT HE SAYS SOUNDS STRANGE

One of the peculiarities of the political life of Armenia is that
usually nobody listens to what the Republican Member of Parliament
Galust Sahakyan says. In fact, it is amazing that the person has
been saying things for so many years which later came true but nobody
listens to what he says. Perhaps therefore he always has a gloomy face,
and what he says sounds strange. This man knows better, especially
that he survived and witnessed the difficult and unfortunate course
of his party, somehow becoming the victim of this flow. He saw how in
the past years his party was offered on a tray first to the military
oligarchy then to the criminal business corps.
And over these years he had to explain to his fellows and the Armenian
people that nothing has happened, everything is O.K., and it is almost
an evolutionary track. Although he knew better of all that it was a
mere coup inside the party and the system of public administration,
which staked the good name of the party.
Recently Galust Sahakyan has made an almost desperate effort to make
it clear to the so-called political mass, reporters, others who at
least pretend to worry about the nation day and night, that they
should think over their actions well before the election. Namely,
Galust Sahakyan said something unpleasant for the devotees of the
"common candidate": in that case their candidate will win in the
first round. In other words, if our desperate opposition puts up say
10 candidates, there will be a second round. Consequently, if 20 to
30 candidates were put up, the Republican candidate might win but in
the third round. Galust Sahakyan did not pronounce the last sentence
not because usually no third round of election is held but because
not everything should be pronounced. Especially in Armenia.
Especially to the desperate politicians who perceive politics as
peddling and are ready to step on everything, including their own
and others’ dignity.
Galust said one more interesting thing: they usually name the leader
of their party. Although it is not exactly true because the Republican
Party did not name its leader for the past two times, do listen to
Galust. At least once.
