It seems that all the state institutions in our country are busy with effortful work. The president of the country doesn’t for a second stop making efforts to support the rapprochement of Armenia-Turkey relations. The geography of the foreign visits of the RA foreign affairs minister stretches not only day by day but hour by hour. The executive and legislative branches work painstakingly. The full jails, illegal verdicts, growing corruption, the pedophile teacher being sentenced for only 2 years prove that the judicial branch is not inert either. Shortly said, no one has a free moment. This incessant movement is chaotic and infertile. But the problem is that no one seems to actively complain about this swamp-like and static situation. The thing is that all the people prefer the predictable swamp rather than the unpredictable future (at least theoretically bright future). The exploitation of the parking lot inaugurated yesterday under the Liberty Square there will be no serious complaints or insurgence regarding the activity of the government. It means that from now on the Liberty Square will be open for visitors and also the opposition rallies. Will it serve the opposition or will it stay as a safe roof for over 500 cars parked underneath? The second version is more possible at least till the next national elections. The swamp doesn’t worry the government in the first place. The reason is that none of them feels responsible for any of the negative phenomena because they mostly cite the president in various situations. Secondly, the reason is that the government avoids responsibility. And in order not to feel responsible it is necessary to pretend that you are not aware. This is similar to the case when one of our legal protectors visited one of the political prisoners (who is already free) pretended that he’s not looking at the face of the prisoner not to notice the bruise and traces of violence. And if his own eyes didn’t see that then his upbringing cannot allow him to claim something to the society that he hasn’t seen with his own eyes. This is pretty characteristic to the government and to a certain extent the opposition as well. The same is for the case of the resolution 2216 adopted by the European Parliament. By the way, it was enacted by the foreign affairs committee of the European Parliament back on April 8. Nobody took the responsibility of the adoption of the anti-Armenian resolution connected with somebody’s unprofessional and inefficient work. The politicians are sluggishly blaming each other; discuss the possible developments and level of everybody’s tardiness. In this case, nobody takes responsibility. The only topic that brings up lots of activation in the society and among certain political sectors is the possible return of the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan to “big” politics. In the case, the interesting thing is not the actual return but the intrigues connected with that. The government elite doesn’t provide any information in this regard. As a rule, the curious journalists receive approximately this answer, “2 times 2 is 4 and Robert Kocharyan is definitely a mature man so he will announce his return whenever he makes such a decisions to the whole society.” It doesn’t seem too far from the reality that the oligarchs have gathered with Kocharyan outside Armenia and have decided the sequence of steps, by which Kocharyan should return to politics. However, it is quite difficult to imagine Kocharyan talking to our oligarchs and exchanging opinions. The oligarchs of our country don’t have the same education and horizon as Chubais or Khodorkovsky to do analyses on their own and draw necessary conclusions from that. It means that they have the best potential of being used in accordance with expediency. Therefore, their past and unclear present is used by the ones, who have the time and energy to find common language with the oligarchs. Kocharyan’s energy is in place as the hunting pictures show; shouldn’t be any problem with time ever. In our country intrigues are possible regardless of their completion more than ever. The history has showed that Kocharyan will attempt to return. But the rumors about the return of Robert Kocharyan remind us of the funny incident that happened in Great Britain during the last elections. Liberal-Democrat David Loz, as the chief secretary of the treasury of the new coalition government of Great Britain, finds a note on the first day he steps into his office. The note was left by his predecessor Liam Bern. The note read, “Dear chief secretary of the treasury, I am afraid there is not money left. Good luck to you, best regards, Liam.” If we change the name Liam to the name of our president the text lines won’t change anyway.
