On the search of political refuge

28/11/2006 Vartan GRIGORYAN

The internal political election campaign is heating up. The speeches made by the political activists of Armenia are becoming more emotional and extreme; the activists are trying to show themselves as heroes to the public eye, appear honest and add some oppositionist shades to their activities.

Narcissism is not condemnable. A couple of days ago, a psychologist divided the human characters of Armenian parliamentarians in some groups. The analyses of the psychologist show that Victor Dallakyan, who declared himself an independent deputy on August 3, 2006, is in first place in the group of narcist parliamentarians and hasn’t stepped down ever since. The people who know him can assure that that political figure usually divides his topic of conversation in three equal parts-first, it’s him as an irresistible man for whom the women of Armenia and foreign countries go crazy; next, again him, as the number one legislator of Armenia and there has never been anyone like him in the history of the Armenian parliament, and finally, the third part of his conversation is once again him, but now as a politician, scientist, who has began his career by writing articles about the existential type of man and the historical mission in Armenian press. So, it’s not by chance that when political activists start talking about his “costume”, Victor Dallakyan starts to gather new journalists and say that his costume costs 50 dollars at the “Malatia” fair, but since he loves to match his clothes, everyone thinks that Dallakyan is wearing a 5,000 dollar costume. Let’s leave this to fashion designers because there are rather interesting things when it comes time to discuss Dallakyan as a legislator. No Armenian has forgotten how the legislator used to say that he had written the plan of the “Prosperous Armenia” party. Meanwhile, the reality is that he has simply sat in the office for a couple of hours where former National Assembly deputy Vartan Bostanjyan and his two experts have written the plan of the “Prosperous Armenia” party. Afterwards, Dallakyan has taken each work and put it in his folder in order to show how much work he has done. And since at the time only Dallakyan had direct contact with the party, it’s obvious that the party members are sure to this day that Dallakyan has written the plan. According to sources, the proposals of legislator Dallakyan are similar to the things he wrote in the plan for the party. However, we must say that Dallakyan has learned some things during the past couple of years in order to write his own law , or make a speech about the existential individual or man. However, the abovementioned is nothing compared to the genius of that political activist. At a time when Dallakyan didn’t’ know that he was no longer part of the “Prosperous Armenia” party and was sure that there was nothing left for businessman Tsarukyan to turn him into a political party leader, he was leading negotiations with “Rule of Law” leader Arthur Baghdasaryan on weekends. Based on the sources of those meetings, he and Baghdasaryan were both intolerant towards Tsarukyan, but at the “Prosperous Armenia” party, Dallakyan called Baghdasaryan primitive. It seems as though “Prosperous Armenia” doesn’t accept Dallakyan anymore. Arthur Baghdasaryan ha said a couple of times that they don’t need Dallakyan. He has cut off all ties with the “Justice” alliance, so what is left for Dallakyan to do? He has to search for a new political refuge, which he is not doing at the moment.
