WEAKNESS OF GOVERNMENT OR CONTROVERSIES WITHIN GOVERNMENT?
- If the political assassinations started several months before the election, one can only imagine what will be happening in the pre-election period. It is possible, of course, that there will be no more assassinations in that period not to arouse anger in the international observers to give a bad evaluation of the election. The pre-election period will be used to arrest the necessary people to accuse of the murders committed before. After all, Robert Kocharyan has already set the model which certain people use to instill disbelief and divide within the team in power. The murders will be presented in this context. That is why the Bargavach Hayastan Party does not react adequately and publicly to the assassination of the mayor it supported, that is why the investigation of the assassination of Shahen Hovasapyan is not moving forward, at least publicly.
All this is intended for pressure on undesirable forces and figures in the pre-election period rather than for the PR of the work of law enforcers. And nobody doubts the ingenuity and vigor of our judicial system, and as a member of the Republican Council Gagik Melikyan said on one occasion, in Armenia it is possible to bring charges on anyone. There are a number of examples. It is even possible to find a link between the murder of Julius Caesar with the process in 2007 in Armenia and accuse someone proceeding from a statement made by him. Let alone the value of the recent assassinations. However, we cannot conclude that these murders are committed to manipulate later and accuse certain people. It would be wrong to state absolutely that the government hits friends to frighten foes, or sacrifices friends to take revenge on foes. Simply we cannot afford not to conclude that the government should use everything for its interests.
In this connection, it is becoming more interesting to know the real reason of the assassinations. Ostensibly, it does not fit the frame of the declared stability, consequently either they are revealing the weakness of the government and want to make pressure on one wing of power or another or they are the consequence of the controversies within the government. If the first is possible, the murders will ostensibly continue as long as any of the wings of the Armenian government has not made real efforts to change the situation. Ostensibly, this concerns especially the wing which is making “sacrifices”. If the controversies within the government are concerned, ostensibly the situation is so tense that the mechanism of arrangements fails, and they are trying to make it work through physical threats.
Anyway, the current situation displays the critical state of Armenia, when the actions are not only illogical but may also obey any logic. The conclusion is one: tension has reached the boiling point.
