KARABAKH AS A GORDIAN KNOT

The Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of France in Armenian Anri Kiuni made a speech in the parliamentary hearings on Nagorno-Karabakh problem yesterday and declared: "I am in Armenia for three years and can affirm that Karabakh is a Gordian knot for Armenia and in spite of economical growth the whole trade economical power isn't used in Armenia."

FALSE HYPOTHESIS

As it was accepted the revolution of Kyrgyzstan refreshed conversations on the necessity of changes of the authority in Armenia. Really it is interesting how the opposition of Kyrgyzstan succeeded in changeover of political powers but the attempt of ten of thousands demonstrators in Armenia was in vain. Besides, the Kirghizes succeeded without obvious assistance of foreign powers in contrast with the Georgians and Ukrainians and even Russian experts admitted it. Certainly it can be explained that Shevardnadze, Kuchma and Akaev are democrats but Kocharian isn't. That means if any "kind uncle" fills the President's post then it is easy to realize a revolution as the democrat leaders surrender without fighting and don't shoot to the people even in that case when the opposition organizes anti-constitutional coup. We can suppose that if Robert Kocharian were a democrat he would leave the residence of the President without fighting against people. This logic of our opposition is disputable at least.
There is also the hypothesis of the authority: revolution won't be realized in Armenia as the people won't go into the streets and destroy everything they see. And the people won't go into to the streets as social-economical conditions of our country isn't so fateful and our opposition is so ripe and clever than it won't allow to ripen passions calling our national security in the question. The hypothesis both the authority and the opposition aren't true. First neither Shevardnadze, nor Akaev are democrats and if they had a single opportunity they would suppress the demonstrators. There is another question that both Shevardnadze and Akaev didn't control the situation and their authority was threatened. Second, we mustn't deceive ourselves that the Armenian people won't go into the street and destroy everything as social-economical problems aren't so sharp /who did say? /. For example people went to occupy the building of National Assembly and break the heads of its leaders in 1996. And the last misunderstanding, our opposition is hardly so aware to go out the rising passion of the people in favor national security.
