STATE BUILDING IS PERHAPS SHELVED

The self-hired taxi drivers and their families will by all means vote for Serge Sargsyan in the presidential election of 2008. If they also manage to persuade at least half of their passengers to vote for the Republican candidate, Serge Sargsyan is definitely already president, and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun need not put up its “own” candidate, and the opposition need not put up its “common candidate”. While they are solving the problem of own and common, Serge Sargsyan solves definite problems, such as the order of licensing taxis, which had caused taxi drivers to go on protest. After a few days of protest Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan appeared to the taxi drivers. It is notable that the media had reported a few days before that the prime minister refused to review the order of licensing and did not wish to meet with the drivers. And now it suddenly becomes known that Serge Sargsyan is not indifferent towards the problem of taxis. The prime minister left his office, the building, went up to the taxi drivers, talked to them and promised that the application of the new order will be delayed until April 1. By April 1 the prime minister will probably have become president because Dashnaktsutyun’s own candidate will have become alternative to all the candidates of the world, and the opposition will still be on the quest for the common candidate.
Serge Sargsyan will be president because he will have solved many more other problems. And if all the problems happen to be solved long before the presidential election, new ones will be caused, more protestors and underprivileged people will go to the government, Serge Sargsyan will meet them, as a modest remedy and solve their problems, or will delay the solution of these problems, which is easier. He will delay, become president, then come what may. Then let the person who wants to be the next president think about the delayed problems. Such as Raffi Hovannisian. Although it is necessary that Serge Sargsyan as a president appoint Hovannisian prime minister for him to be able to delay the decisions of the government on one sphere or another. As to what the taxi drivers will be doing after April 1, 2008, who will meet them when they go on protest, none of them knows. Will time forgive them because “they do not understand what they are doing” when they thank the prime minister for delaying their problem? And does anyone understand how it happens that part of the disorganized society is organized so quickly and goes on protest several days running in several cities of Armenia? Finally, it started in Gyumri, then the wave moved to Yerevan. Meanwhile, we should not forget that we deal with self-hired tax drivers. They are not the staff of a company, members of an NGO, a party or a civil movement. And here we see an enviable organization and consistency until the prime minister meets them, they thank him publicly, which is televised, and leave until April 1. Amazing, enviable organization! Apparently, the vision of an organized state is in reliable hands, and is gradually becoming real. But in order not to let the process get out of control, and not to let anyone know that they can already become organized, it is necessary to regulate mass events by license. Otherwise, such a queue of protestors may occur in front of the government that time will not be enough to discuss their problems, and it will be necessary to shelve the presidential election of 2008 until it becomes clear who is who and what is what.
