Virtual or real Armenia?

03/10/2009

It is several days that Shant TV is showing a video ordered by the national competition foundation of Armenia, in which people are advertising “the Armenian world” and calling on foreign investors to come and make investments in Armenia… Among such people there are also artists who are known by people as actors of “Vorogayt” or “The Vervarats” soap operas. Foreign investors from the Armenian Diaspora may harsh to Armenia to make investments when they listen to these people. However, there is a problem, which does not concern the Shant TV and the artists who are playing in this video. It is very interesting to see the faces of potential investors who are offered to make investments in a virtual world, when they are invited by the government of a virtual world which has all the necessary attributes of statehood to make investments not in the Republic of Armenia but in a virtual world which exists in imaginations only. When Tigran Sargsyan was elected he started speaking of virtual things and people were tolerant to what he was saying because he thought he was an intellectual person with a good imagination and he was doing it to adapt to the new situation and position. However time shows that it is not only means of communication for Tigran Sargsyan but also a principle or vision. In a word, the prime minister is thinking of not only overcoming the crisis of silence or building an “Armenian world” and believes that it is possible to do and uses the PM’s position for that purpose. Furthermore, he is smart enough to understand the possible results of such initiatives and announcements, thus always when making such statements he refers to the president and says that such provisions were included in the president’s pre-election platform. May be he is true. However it is not excluded that he is doing it for the purpose of escaping from responsibility. At least we should find out whether we are dealing with real policies and actions or something else which is called sublimation psychology.
