Who can speak on behalf of the movement?

June 27,2015 13:06

I am sure that abuse and scourge do not bring any benefit to people, groups, and organizations. Especially, the blasphemy. Unless, of course, the task is to help people and making your environment better and perfect. If the purpose is for the console of your heart or being self-determined, then yes, you should use words that are more rigid.

Using a swear word addressed to Armen Ashotyan in no way improves the situation of our education and sciences, similarly, did not help dropping the electricity tariff rate. Instead, the swearers felt themselves better. Followed by exactly the same logic, suspecting the youth gathered in the Baghramyan Avenue of some “ulterior intentions” or “committing orders” is enjoyable for the skeptics enabling them to feel the “perspicacity” of their own mind but gives nothing in terms of understanding the situation.

On the other hand, adoring and praising does not bring any benefit to people or groups of people. Now, many people, including the government supporters, are praising, and they really deserve praise in many matters. Nevertheless, they are not 3 years old children whose parents have put them in the chair to recite a poem about the Christmas tree. They have become a political factor despite the fact that the demands so far are not political, and we all should pursue the goal for them to become mature as quicker as possible. This is the precondition for not being broken and disappointed in any case. This is the possible saddest scenario of the history, sadder than the electricity price hike by 7 or even 17 drams. Much sadder than being beaten and watered.

One can live with euphoria for a week, at best, a month. It is impossible to be in this condition constantly. After a while, there comes the time for cold calculation that should not “cancel” and complement the romance of sleeping or playing volleyball in the Baghramyan Street. These cold calculations include not only the vigilance to avoid the provocateurs, drunk, hooligans and the “kooky, but the consciousness of who can how use this movement. To the point, it refers to both the government and the opposition.

To begin with, it would not be bad to find out who is entitled to speak on behalf of this movement. Can anyone who goes to sleep in Baghramyan Avenue do it?  And what if Bibin comes? Or, Armen Ashotyan? But if a party member comes to Baghramyan Avenue and began making a speech. Or, any provocateur disseminates a statement on the Internet on behalf of the movement, which seems to have occurred already. Hence, in all cases, despite the government and particularly the police actions, staying or vacating Baghramyan Street, we need to think about self-organizational matters.
