The theme of the distribution and re-detribtuion of power between the RPA and the Prosperous Armenia is so obsessively being discussed in the political field that an impression is created that the process is taking place in some closed territory, where only the mentioned forces with their customers participate. The discussions on occupying the first, second or third places in the NA, is taking place at the level of governmental bargaining. And surprisingly none of them bothers to speak about the opinion of the society. At least formally they don’t discuss the orientation of the voters. The reason is simple. The coalition forces – RPA, Prosperous Armenia and the Legal State are the ones that falsify the voters’ ballots and indeed save the slogans for the pre-election period. That is the reason why people are often skeptical and indifferent to the processes taking place within the government. In a whole, currently in Armenia they are struggling for becoming the “player” of Russia, which indeed doesn’t have anything common with Armenia. That is the reason why people don’t care who is going to win the RPA-PA struggle. The opposition makes the picture even more profound by its slogan “let the government self-destroy from inside.” By doing this they are trying to justify their passiveness and inertness. They are also preparing for another “mighty” rally without forgetting to welcome the revolutions in various corners of the world. The nuance of the situation is that the opposition at least formally relies on the society but in fact the calculations are also based on the “foreign game.” It means the opposition directly or indirectly is also involved in the government game or in the game, which the government plays. The society is segregated from the political process and now in the very literal meaning of the word is struggling for survival. On the background of senseless allegations of fighting and restraining inflation the life in Armenia is becoming unbearably more and more expensive. And this may have an ambiguous meaning for the upcoming political developments. People will either eternally become disappointed from both the government and opposition. Thus this will create an opportunity to more easily rig the results of elections by adjusting those to the current “discussions.” Another version is that in Armenia a social riot will take place. At the moment the government still hopes that the first version will take place. Indeed, the opposition doesn’t mind the social riot in the meantime leaving some space for the first version. And if the prospect of a social riot seems in haze to the government then all they need to do is leave their villas in the evenings to go check out the suburbs of Yerevan to get convinced that people have already started to burn farm waste to warm up in their homes located in multi-apartment buildings. Perhaps that’s where the haze comes from.
