None of Russian journalists thinks to ask me how Baghramyan 26 is treating with replacing Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with another person. They do not ask, first, because I do not know the answer to that question, unlike many of my colleagues, I do not have “sources standing close” to the said location. But, also because the opinion of Baghramyan 26 in this issue does not matter. However, our journalists are interested to know from the Russian media commentator, Modest Kolerov, whether the Kremlin is for or against Tigran Sargsyan’s resignation. And, Mr. Kolerov, who, presumably, is standing close to the Kremlin, answers, it is not against. In short, Moscow ‘has given the OK.”
Let’s leave aside the question of whether Tigran Sargsyan’s government has “matured” for his resignation, or will still continuing, to say the least, not very honest and transparent practices. It is clear that the lives of our citizens have worsened due to this government’s fault. However, it seems to me that if the government servicing oligarchy is replaced with the original oligarch government, neither the government, nor the citizens will benefit from it. But, in this case, the matter is about that we, the Armenians, are interested in the opinion of the Kremlin about this matter, and we are connecting our estimations, analyzes, and plans exclusively with the decision and preference of Moscow.
No matter how strange it may sound, I’m not sure that today, in this moment, Moscow is concerned about who the President of Armenia is, especially the Prime Minister or the minister of any sector. Of course, if last year, on September 3, the President of Armenia would not announce that our country is joining the Customs Union, and, Moscow, very possibly, would incite change of power in Armenia, war in Karabakh, and even a process similar to “October 27”.
But, now, all the Kremlin objectives are achieved in Armenia, and I do not think that the aspirations of our political forces of appearing more faithful and nice in the eyes of Moscow will bring in some tangible results. They say that Robert Kocharyan has become active by the instruction of Moscow. I am sorry, I do not believe it. The scope of discussed problems are not geopolitical, although there are clashes and squabbles of who was ruling the country better.

Some also see the “hand of Moscow” in tomorrow’s “anti-funded pension” rally. I assure that this is not true. I have communicated with members of the initiative group; these young people are absolutely not interested in Kocharyan’s or Putin’s political plans. Their goals are honest. Whether they are right or wrong, time will show.
