Vladimir Putin—Winner of NA Elections
In a few days new political season will be officially launched by the first NA autumn session. Of course, the start is relative, as much relative is liaison of the parliament to politics. Basically, it’s not even relative, but grotesque. However, as formally the foul language is exchanged in the NA, which due to lack of an alternative, we call a debate; opening of political seasons mainly coincide with this parliamentary ritual.
However, this year’s political season varies from the previous ones by the fact, that prelude of 2017 parliamentary elections will be launched. Not in the sense of the elections of local self-government bodies, as everybody represents, but regarding formation of the pre-election agenda of NA elections. It doesn’t refer to the agenda, which the political parties with their pre-elections programs and mottos will attempt to fill. It refers to the agenda including issues of vital importance for the state, which almost surely may be said—it won’t be developed.
Number one issue of Armenia, and not only of Armenia, but of Nagorno Karabakh as well, which is the one conditioning all the other issues, is Armenia’s geopolitical choice. The issue of continuing the servility in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) or not.
It’s the issue of living with the expectation of another Azerbaijani sabotage with Russian armaments and being in the status of the agent, justifying Russians from that sabotage or not. The issue of being in EEU and not being in any regional and geopolitical process. The issue of having not only the ability of defending our own borders, but, first and foremost, the issue of having independence or not.
The issue of having or not a Foreign Minister, receiving a medal of other country for wasting interests of his own country…These and not mentioned issues on the level of having or not leads to the issue of having a state or not, which is not an issue, but an alternative.
If, of course, we aren’t led by the “there is no alternative to EEU and CSTO” subservient approach of Armenia’s authorities and the so-called oppositional political class. However, as the political class is led by that, as well as those, who’ll decide which issues should be included in the political agenda, there shouldn’t be any doubt that any of the abovementioned mentioned issues, as well as those deriving from them, won’t be included in the agenda. Political agenda will be comprised of everything but issues referring to foreign policy.
As not only Russian authorities will do that, but also Russian opposition and the units, which state they should be led not by “either-or” but by “both-and,” by that whether conscious or not, becoming as much Russian as the abovementioned.
The issue of vital importance won’t be included in Armenia’s pre-election agenda—geopolitical choice, which is also a choice of a standpoint and civilization, i.e. it’s a choice about a person, as attitude towards the person depends on that choice, the alternative of regarding a person as a purpose or a means. Armenia has chosen and is living in a system, where a person basically is nothing to the extent, that he/she isn’t a purpose, but a means to falsify elections, is a transfer receiver to consume import of the oligarchs, and is headcount for leading political party and crowd scenes.
There shouldn’t be any doubt that Russia will assist in reproduction of the leading political system by all means, together with the authorities and opposition.
It’s all the same for Russia which part of Armenian political powers and figures is supporting the authorities or the opposition. Russia needs that they didn’t touch upon geopolitical choice in Armenia, i.e. a person. As soon as they speak of geopolitics, they’ll record that Armenia’s current choice is anti-humane, and speaking of a person, they’ll record that anti-Eurasian choice is necessary for a person.
Russia works with Armenia’s authorities and the opposition by that very principle, allows recording added percent in elections with the condition of not speaking and thinking of the geopolitical choice.
In fact, name of Armenia’s public-political agenda is Vladimir with the surname Putin. However, nuance of the so-called elections will be that not those who’ll provide best grounds for that surname as the one keeping Armenia in the darkness, and will provide detailed narrative of the steps to come out of the darkness, but the contrary, all those will win, who will keep silent on that name and will shine not only by uttering his name, but also when hearing it.
This means that Eurasianism is irreversible, as the well-known pioneer, banning to swear Putin, was claiming. If such will be found among the leading political powers, or new ones will appear, which will bring the issue of geopolitical choice to Armenia’s political agenda, being ready that as a result they may not appear in the parliament, but will contribute to Armenia’s non-appearing under the Russian boot, the situation will change.
And by changing, become such, in case of which issues will be solved not only in the Eurasian club called “the National Assembly,” but on other platforms, where Armenia is not an epithet at all.
