When, several days ago, it became known that the German famous
sociologist Tillman Alert was going to visit Armenia, I supposed that
the government was bringing another famous sociologist to Armenia in
order to make the usual rating tricks with his help in regard with
the Mayor election, trying to take advantage of the famousness of
the sociologist. My opinion was found out to be wrong and Tillman
Alert arrived in Armenia not to study the public opinion but Serge
Sargsyan. In other words, Alert assumed a bigger mission than I could
suppose. The German scientist is worth my apology as I predicted such
a small occupation for him, in case he was going to make a much bigger
discovery in Armenia: that Serge Sargsyan’ reveal.

It seemed to Serge Sargsyan and his propaganda responsibles that if a
famous scientist reveals him, he will reveal such things which will
admire and astonish the 800 thousands people, who, according to the
official data, did not vote for Serge Sargsyan at the presidential
election, and they will wonder why they did not give their ballots
for him. The point is that the conversation between Serge Sargsyan
and Tillman Alert was recorded and was shown by the Public TV. I
and perhaps all the others who did not know Tillman Alert before,
saw and understood how skilful professional he is and how good he is
at revealing the official sitting in front of him – the president of
an independent country.

I dare to suppose that the responsibles for the presidential propaganda
did not imagine Alert’s whole skilfulness or did not understand what
he discovered. In the opposite case, the dialogue between Alert and
Sargsyan would not be presented to the public, because what has been
"discovered" in its course was not a president of the country, of a
state, not a national leader, but a mere classic official, nothing
more. If Serge Sargsyan was able to surprise the public with his any
skill, that was his skill to conduct a petty conversation with a big
scientists. And, as skilful and penetrating the German scientists
seemed, as diminished the figure of Serge Sargsyan and the situation
was saved with the help of the part of the conversation on the hard
time which suffered Serge Sargsyan’s family and the Karabakh people
during the war period.

The organisers probably thought that if the image is revealed by a
big scientist what is revealed will be big as well. Here is their
mistake. The big reveals the small and they should be cautious before
inviting Alert. He was surely applauding the efforts of the president
to study the German language and his success in it, but the problem
is that Serge Sargsyan did not give any other reason for Alert to
applaud him during their conversation, in other words no other Serge
Sargsyan’s thought managed to leave impression on Alert other than
the German study. Let alone the thought of the president which left
impression on the public. Next time, a smaller and not that famous
scientist should be invited to a conversation with Serge Sargsyan
whose aim would be not to reveal the "subject" and to become known
through the conversation with the president rather than to testify
another professional gain.
