TOTAL DENIAL TACTICS
- Some political figures that consider themselves confirmed democrats and liberals continuously announce that Armenia can have a pivotal role in the region and can be actively involved in all the programs to be implemented. Only one thing is needed for it: they must come to power.
After that the reforms will automatically be realized, corruption will disappear, justice, lawfulness and order will rule, and we will immediately become the inseparable part of the flourishing western civilization. And naturally with the help of the magic stick the problem of Karabakh will also be solved.
It is noteworthy that the more the success of the government in power becomes evident the stricter is the criticism in their address. Of course there are lots of reasons to criticize the authorities. But, the problem is, they deny any positive step the authorities take. Whatever they do is bad and it makes the situation worse.
It is also noteworthy that the activists of the liberal opposition camp and left wing activists share the same critical opinion regarding the authorities.
The evaluation of the before mentioned two wings concerning the activity of the power is practically the same, the only difference is in the strictness of the criticisms. While the latest budgets of the government is bound for the very section of the population on behalf of which these people like to speak very often.
A question arises here: why do the radicals of different directions refuse the perceptible success of the current policy.
Though it is an oratorios issue. In the attitude towards the reforms and in general any policy guidelines, the most important thing is not its goal and contents but who has implemented these reforms.
Let’s touch upon the historical examples. Is it possible to blame Alexander 2nd for annulling serfdom in Russia or, for example to blame Stalin because he gave lands and loans to the peasants, thus developing the economy? But if we recall our history books we will remember that they used to criticize these famous statesmen for making anti-serfdom reforms through serfdom methods, considering the interests of the serf-owners.
From the point of view of common sense the concern saying “ serf-owners released their serfs in order to strengthen their serf-ownership privileges and to have more power on the peasant,” must be considered a delirium. But this delirium was preached as the highest truth. Today the same delirium is heard in our society but the only difference is that instead of “serfdom” the word “anti-democratic” is used. No difference what reforms the authorities make. The most important thing is that they are the principal serf-owners (oligarchs, anti-democrats) and we can’t expect anything good from them.
As for the effectiveness of the reforms… – it is another topic. Let’s go back to the historical examples. V. I. Lenin used to compare Russia, of the beginning of the 20th century, with a steam boiler that had to explode because the pressure was very high and the Stolipin reforms (reforms made by Stolipin) – with the last valve that managed to reduce the pressure. The only thing Lenin didn’t like in Stolipin reforms was that they didn’t’ allow the steam boiler to explode and the trains to roll into the canyon. While the passengers, that is to say the residents of the empire approved of both the direction and the speed of the train. The hope that they will throw the engine driver out of the window and will ask the Bolsheviks to drive the train vanished.
The situation that prevails in Armenia nowadays reminds of those days. The country is modernizing with difficulties and very slowly, the internal and the external political situation is becoming more and more stable, the government is trying to solve the problems dictated by the history.
Any form of attempts to discredit the authorities is jeopardy for the country’s social progress, isn’t it? Bible says, “The house that has internal split will never be firm.”
And nowadays the principal generators of such situation are the radicals of different wings.
