Well, Oskanian condemned the attacks on the journalists, and blamed BOTH the authorities and the opposition for the violence.
And this was off a1plus.am, who hates anything done by ministers usually.
Also, don't overlook the fact that he is the FM. He has to worry about the country's appearance on the world stage. If the USA starts circulating rumors about total carnage in Armenia, and Oskanian does not set the record straight, he wouldn't be doing his job.
As for Baghdassarian, I had spoken about him earlier in the year. He does seem like a very good man. Baghdassarian, Oskanian and Hovanissian are people that I would definitely like to have in the next government.

Next time I go to Armenia (probably 2005), I'll DEFINITELY get my uncle to arrange a meeting for me with Vartan Oskanian. I was kinda disappointed that I didn't get to meet him last summer. Oh well.
As for the one man to unite them all. It won't happen, and it's not even necessary. We NEED an opposition. The only problem is, neither the authorities nor the opposition have anybody's trust. For what I care, government and opposition can disagree on every bloody subject. As long as they follow democratic procedures and actually make their decisions in parliament in a respectful and orderly way, we will be very well off already..

You know Richard Hovannisian said something wise before closing his last lecture last quarter. He said essentially that the leaders in Armenia haven't realized that if they eat, to at least give some to the people. Notice he didn't say to stop eating, since he knows whoever sits on the throne will eat. This was after we talked about Armenia's independence, the diaspora, and the demographic decline.Achkerov kute.
