There are people or organizations that feel pleasure in the thought that they are persecuted. “Analytic” club believes that lawmaker Tigran Ulikhanyan persecuted them by someone’s order. The lawmaker believes that not only the club but also a number of criminal organizations are persecuting him by someone’s ordered too.
And is it not possible for the people to have a bad opinion of each other and it would be quite spontaneous and without any order? And whether this bad opinion should be qualified as persecution. I, for example, have never thought that someone is persecuting me because I do not consider myself to be an important figure that should hurt someone or cause damage so that to become a target for persecution. Some people like what I write; others do not, but I do not see anything behind it, and I’m not going to delve into it. Maybe, the clubs and lawmakers, political and semi-political figures are more weighty, and their job has such a cosmic significance that makes all “dark forces of the world” to unite against them.
If someone likes the statue to Marshal Babajanyan, it is not necessarily for him to express this opinion personally in the name of Ivan Volinkin. If someone does not like the statue, it is not yet a fact that he expresses this opinion by the order of Richard Mills. If I do not like “Coca-Cola,” you should not arrive at a conclusion that I am a great lover of “Pepsi-Cola”. To dig out under every bush and find a “hex of order” is quite boring if I am allowed to say an “annoying” occupation.
Paranoia, naturally, intensifies before the parliamentary elections. A few hundred people feel that their becoming a lawmaker or a minister is such a “nation-saving” process, while otherwise is such a “nation-detrimental” that the entire attention and mind of the rest of the two million population (and why not, 10 million worldwide) is to support or hamper it. And accordingly, these 2 or 10 million are engaged either in campaigning them or fulfilling the order of their competitors. In the coming months, we will witness more acute manifestations of paranoia.

In short, the more I think about this issue, the more I become sure that seeking for an order or conspiracy everywhere generals from overestimating the significance of your own person or the organization. A friendly advice: do not think that you are in the center of the universe and all the events going on in the world are directed in favor of you or against you. Or, as they say, your biggest misfortune is that you are overly serious.
