Serzh Sargsyan's experiment: Will 'Rubik Almighty' be Armenia's foreign minister?

Apparently, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is beginning a new experiment. Recently, Armenian media reported that he intends to update the Cabinet of Minister soon. Sargsyan’s desire to reshuffle his subordinates can be described as an experiment. But the change in personalities will not change the essence of their activities, which are characterized by blatant approval of the president.

In this case, the way the ministers of the Armenian government will be named is of no significance. So, even if the disgraced "Rubik Almighty,"  Ruben Dzhaginyan, given Serzh Azatovich’s propensity for crazy attempts, shows up with his ministerial portfolio. Moreover, being Armenia’s foreign minister, "Rubik Almighty" will change nothing in the official position of the country. All will remain the same. It is Sargsyan who decides with whom to make friends and with whom not to in this totalitarian country.

“Rubik Almighty” could be no worse than Edward Nalbandyana in making an intelligent expression on his face, signing protocols, giving himself a pat on the cheek and making habitual and memorized speeches. By dismissing him, Sargsyan will be able to satisfy the wishes of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, which has long been demanding the resignation of the Armenian FM and to appease the Armenian diaspora. Thus, it will once again prove the common truth – how hard the Armenian president is trying to display his ability to act against the wishes of the diaspora, it is obliged to admit his own political impotence.

Certainly, there have been many attempts to hide this fact from the public. But these attempts are doomed to failure just as it is extremely difficult to prove that water is not wet. Moreover, there is evidence for our arguments that in making changes to the Armenian-Turkish protocols, the Armenian Constitutional Court threatens the very future of continued dialogue between Ankara and Yerevan thus enabling Sargsyan to demonstrate that you can do what you wish and avoid troubles at the same time.

So, the president needs to find "scapegoat" and dismissing him to show he is ostensibly carrying out reforms staging a show for the people instead of providing them with bread to survive and acting as a man who determines destiny of ordinary citizens.

Of course, the corruption machine will be launched again to collect “fees” for the high positions that they have received. The volume of these funds will be spent on improving the well-being of the corruption pyramid led by Serzh Sargsyan.

And, finally, reshuffling the ministers is a form of a pastime for the Armenian president. Ladies, Jack, six, kings and aces may change frequently in this game. In extreme cases, the entire deck will be replaced. The top Armenian official can easily do it. Because he knows in case people are unhappy with his actions, he himself will face an experiment. However, Sargsyan does not plan to be experimented at all.
