Splits in parties are not a new phenomenon for the Republic of Armenia
and are connected with the non-realization of the political field of
Armenia. In civilized countries, parties are never split at least
because of accusations of a part of the party to the other for
fulfilling the orders of the government or a rival party.

But this of course does not concern Armenia and here party scandals
are always determined by such kind of problems and there are always
those who leave and those who are dismissed. AZhM, Communistic Party,
HZhK, HRAK, Republic. There may be people who will remember other
names of parties which the Heritage joined now.

Logically, all this arouses much interest among the TV channels which
cover the Armenian political life with details. The Heritage is an
oppositional party which has problems: the sides accuse each other of
fulfilling the HAK’s or the government’s orders. This material is the
best for the Armenian television because two tasks are solves at the
same time: both Heritage and the Armenian National Congress are
defamed or at least attempted to be defamed.

The main conclusion from all this is perhaps that `the format
died’. In other words, the format of cooperation of
Heritage-Dashnaktsutyun-Armenian National Congress, the possibility of
which has been recently much spoken about and which had grounds after
the release of the Armenian-Turkish protocols because the Heritage
seemed to try to justify its internal problems with the help of
transparent hints and accusations directed to the HAK.

It is another question whether they are just or not. The fact is that
none of the three forces presented any sincere wish to
cooperate. Besides, the fact that the `format’ became hazy should not
be rendered a tragedy and one should not think that everything is
finished and nothing maybe done. After all, if success encourages,
failure makes think and pay attention to things which as a rule you do
not notice when successful. In politics, non-existing things sometimes
serve the society more that those existing.
