Re: Elections in Armenia
Looks like President Sarkisyan, in a display of true leadership, visited Hayrikyan in the hospital. So has Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan. No one from Armenia's treasonous CIA-controlled opposition has bothered to show up, apart from radical former PM and doom-and-gloom economist Hrant Bagratyan (this guy always has something negative to say about Armenia, he claims that government statistics are outright lies and the country is doomed despite the fact that much progress can be seen in the country since the fall of LTP). Anyway none of the "name-brand" sell-outs like ter-petrosyan, hovannisian or oskanoglu have bothered to show up. Is their silence and hesitation a sign of guilt or complicity? Also notable is that former President Kocharyan has been silent as well, although unlike LTP Kocharyan has been out of political scene for the most part since his term ended in 2008 except for a few vague and generalized comments, so it's not too surprising.
The confused entity called the ARF hasn't made any statements either, perhaps they were waiting for someone from the LTP camp to break the ice and blame Serj before they joined in, although their Armenia-bashing wh*re maria titizyan wrote a pointless article published in their various media outlets, and the diasporan ARF media is filled with commenters senselessly screaming for Serj's blood in a typical Pavlovian reaction to a tragedy occurring in Armenia. I honestly never thought I'd see the ARF ally itself with LTP, or pathetically kissing the *ss of raffi hovannisian even though hovannisian has rejected every attempt at an ARF-Heritage joint ticket in any of Armenia's elections over the last decade. This only goes to prove that "the party is a (dispensable) tool, the Fatherland is eternal".
As for Gagik Tsarukyan, the nominal head of the second largest party Prosperous Armenia, he seems to have washed his hands of politics. Too bad, I always liked hearing Armenia's wealthiest man giving away medical aid and tractors to poor citizens in isolated Armenian villages during campaign season. Too bad Tsarukyan let the trojan horse, criminal money launderer, and foreign agent vardan oskanian into the ranks of Prosperous Armenia before toning down his activities.
Bottom line here, I regret Hayrikyan got shot, and I'm glad he seems to be back on his feet. I respect him for not using the event as a tool for inciting the masses. Hayrikyan is clearly not an opportunist and an egomaniac like LTP (it also indicates he may be more naïve than one may think). And I respect Serj for sending a clear message that his administration does not approve of or tolerate political violence. We Armenians should be proud of Armenia today, because for all its faults and geopolitical limiting factors, tiny Armenia once again showed that it has more political civility and democracy (yes democracy) than most of the western countries which criticize it every chance they get. We may be witnessing an important stage in Armenia's slow and steady evolution and progression towards building a viable, modern state. Whoever was interested in causing chaos in Armenia may have inadvertently given Armenians cause to unite.
That being said, this latest incident also showed how vulnerable Armenia is to foreign intrigues. We were set up for another upheaval, we just managed to avoid the trap due to a poor shot and political maturity on the part of the victim and Armenia's leadership. Much like in 2008, the dark forces behind the assassination attempt will not stop until Armenians are rioting in the streets and the country is in ashes. They failed to achieve regime change in 2008 (in fact, the "Apricot Revolution" was the failure that stemmed the tide of those hideous "color revolutions" throughout the former USSR), and they failed to create a crisis today in 2013. Those outside forces must be seething with rage, they must be cursing the name Armenia which they just can't topple. We need to be prepared for the trick they will try to pull on the Armenian people.
