Armenia: Not only cooks, but also clowns will come to power
On May 4, 1935, one outstanding Soviet leader, speaking with a report “On the state of affairs in the USSR,” uttered a phrase that later became popular: “Personnel decide everything.” The phrase was said so that managers would pay attention to the importance of a person’s education and professional skills when solving important problems.
Thanks to the personnel approach, the USSR managed to overcome devastation and hunger, build an industrial state, win the most terrible war in the history of mankind, create a nuclear shield of the state and be the first to go into space, as well as bring millions of “cook’s children” into the people from a low place.
In the republics that remained on the ruins of the USSR, personnel policy is only declared, but in reality “social elevators” work (mainly) for children, relatives, godfathers and matchmakers of low-responsible citizens, it is unclear by whose permission they were promoted to leadership.
Endemic nepotism and corruption lead to the weakening of the state foundations and the apathy of the population, thanks to which a bunch of hyperactive passionaries, armed with grants and Gene Sharp’s manuals, organize “color revolutions”, becoming another predatory “elite” in the place of the overthrown swindlers who have lost their scent and grip.
True, it’s hard to call these upheavals a personnel policy, since it’s not talented and smart people from the people who are promoted to leadership, but the sidekicks of the winning street loudmouths, and even shady personalities who are strongly recommended to be appointed to positions by disinterested foreign sponsors.
A year ago, Nikola Pashinyan, who trumpeted more than anyone else from the barricades of Armenia about a revolution for the people and in the name of the people, turned out to be a completely predictable hustler, distributing positions to sidekicks and “useful people.” “Social elevators” again work only for the elite.
Here, for example, are Pashinyan’s last two appointments of government officials. Thus, Zareh Sinanyan became the Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs at the ruins of the former ministry, and Rustam Badasyan became the Minister of Justice.
What is remarkable about these two personalities? Responsible for relations with the diaspora, Sinanyan is the former mayor of the American town of Glendale. It is believed that Sinanyan will deftly communicate with the Armenian diaspora around the world, because in the USA he has been hanging around among local Armenians for a long time and supposedly has studied his business well.
No one doubts that Sinanyan is a clever fellow, but the Armenian public is greatly embarrassed by the fact that the new Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs in the United States was promoting the interests of the LGBT community and lobbying for its special rights. Arriving in Armenia, Sinanyan continued to work in the same direction, promoting the ideas of “gender education”, same-sex marriage and unlimited tolerance among his dense compatriots in his historical homeland, for which he received a prize from homosexuals from the Equality Armenia organization.
Apparently, Sinanyan, who knows the Armenian, Russian and English languages well, was matched with Pashinyan by funds to promote “rear-wheel drive” tolerance among the former Soviet peoples, in order, therefore, to introduce them to the “achievements of civilization,” when an ass is no longer just an ass, but a whole manifesto of civil rights and freedoms.
Having assumed the post of Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, Sinanyan stated that he would begin his activities in Russia, where the largest Armenian diaspora lives. It sounds promising. I think it will be interesting.
As for the new Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan, it is not clear in principle why he was appointed to such a responsible position. It is known that Badasyan is 27 years old, a lawyer by profession, with a lot of experience, did not serve in the army (which in Armenia is considered the equivalent of a sad schmuck), worked for about a year in the State Revenue Committee, where he did not show himself in any way. And suddenly such happiness!
However, information appeared in the Armenian media that the graceless young man Badasyan is one of the many Soros who have closely surrounded the Maidan Prime Minister Pashinyan. Moreover, he was nominated for the post of Minister of Justice through the efforts of Larisa Minasyan, executive director of the Soros Open Society Foundation in the Republic of Armenia.
Thus, the Soros Foundation, like the Lamehuza parasite, lays egg after egg in Pashinyan’s imperious anthill with complete non-resistance from the Maidan Prime Minister. And as soon as the Lamechuzas multiply, the anthill will receive a non-illusory end.
The worst part is that Minasyan is openly called a “shadow prime minister” in Armenia, which in some way explains the non-resistance of the usually violent and unyielding prime minister in law.
Not all political forces in Armenia like this practice, but for some reason no one proposes to solve the problem in principle - for example, by legislating a ban on grant-eaters holding government positions. Armenian politicians are still depressed by the young age of the new Minister of Justice, as if the Soros Foundation in Armenia is not able to find some gray-haired grant-eater with experience instead of the green Badasyan.
It is not known what will happen with the age limit for ministers, but the appointment of the young man Badasyan is apparently directly related to the upcoming “wetting” of judges, conceived by the vindictive Pashinyan, which threatens the republic with the collapse of the judicial system and, as a result, the collapse of the legal foundations of the state.
The problem is that there are no vetting specialists in Armenia. We will have to invite foreign specialists. Most likely from the EU or UK. But it may also happen that Pashinyan, overwhelmed by amateurish arrogance, will appoint his Arkharovites to check the judges. He'll be fine. The wildly strange appointments of officials of his government are countless.
It must be understood that “vetting” is a long and painstaking process, which must be preceded by an expert assessment of its necessity.
No such assessment has been carried out, but there is a political order from the ruling group of maydauns led by Pashinyan, who are seeking to complete the vendetta against ex-President Kocharyan and those involved in the “First of March” case. It is characteristic that a year ago the issue of “vetting” was not raised in principle - Pashinyan was satisfied with everything until the Yerevan court of general jurisdiction transferred Kocharyan’s case to the Constitutional Court of the republic, releasing the ex-president pending trial. This event became the trigger for the dismantling of the existing judicial system of Armenia amid howls about the corruption and nepotism of judges who received positions before the “revolution of love.”
One more donut: Pashinyan needs to legally formalize “vetting,” about which there is nothing at all in the law on the judiciary, and find a higher authority that would approve the removal of Armenian judges, since in Armenia itself there is no provision for the removal of judges at the request of the left heel of any official rank.
Considering that at the moment in “democratic” Albania the courts are being “vetted” under the control of the EU, then Pashinyan will probably appeal to the EU, the ECHR, like a typical Papuan trading sovereignty for the sake of recognition from “authoritative boys.”
It’s a disaster if a shoemaker bakes pies, and a failed kebab maker manages government affairs.
It is impossible to predict where such voluntarism, heavily involved in personal revenge, may lead Armenia, Russia’s ally. Drawing on precedents from history, we can say that solving complex issues with a cavalry charge has never brought anyone any good...
