In an earlier post, I pointed to
the dangers involved in ignoring the many deficiencies within Armenian society,
arguing that progress would emerge not through accommodation with a corrupt and
increasingly arrogant soi-disant elite, but through consistent critique of and principled
resistance against its many excesses.
Unfortunately, events over the past few weeks have proved my assertion
that government in Armenia is of some
people, by some people and for some people painfully correct: in the
absence of a state under the rule of law, all become prey to the whims of those higher-up in
the echelons of power.
