EDITOR'S COLUMN

MISLEADING

We get an impression from the interpretation of the authority representatives that our leaders, do not understand the current public moods, and that misleading is sincere, it is not formal. First of all they are sure that people’s riot depends on Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s person. The Judas and masons managed to conduct some kind of séances in the result of which the natural life of the country was destroyed. The authorities try to find solutions for their wrong suppositions; they keep dozens of innocent people in the prisons, commit blackmails towards the oppositionists making them recognize the results of the elections and agree to dialogue. That way was a deadlock not only for the reason that the First President will not yield any pressure. It is more essential if that strategy works; it will not relieve the situation.

If we suppose that Levon Ter-Petrosyan recognizes the current president’s legitimacy and starts a dialogue with him, can this calm the people’s anger? Perhaps just the opposite, people will blaze of anger, and they will have two targets of complaint instead of one.

The second wrong supposition of the authority is that the roots of those dissatisfactions are social. (The Soviet stereotype of social problems works here which is the synonym of food). “A group of oppositionists manipulate the people’s temporary difficulties”. But those explanations are very simple. Well-doing people are also dissatisfied that they have to give bribes to every official, that they are neglected by them, that crimes are not detected and the criminals are not punished and finally they will which they express during balloting is cynically ignored.

In general people want neither Serge nor Levon, the want a normal, dignified life and that demand is not limited by material needs. The authority should simply grow to deeply understand that demand.
