The camel spits, the ostrich hides its head: the development of the speakers in the Armenian Parliament History, as we know, repeats itself twice: first as a tragedy, then as a farce. October 27, 1999, when Prime Minister and Deputy Sargsyan, Speaker Karen Demirchian and six other people died in the meeting room of the Armenian Parliament, still bleeds in the Armenian memory. Exactly 27 years later, on October 27, 2026, a farce took place in the same hall. October 27, 2026 will go down in the history of Armenian parliamentarianism as the day when the Speaker of the National Assembly Ruben Roubinyan turned the meeting hall into a Texas tavern - with flying chairs and bottles, brawls and inappropriate "muchchus" from the "GD". The previous speaker, Alan Simonian, was, of course, "aesthetic". In April 2023, in the center of Yerevan, he spat in the face of Canadian citizen Karen McCarthyan. Security held the citizen's hands so he could not hold back, and the speaker spat freely. For this he received the popular nickname "camel". Robinian went further. And now we can say that the "camel" has been replaced by an "ostrich" in the chair of the chairman of the Armenian parliament. On October 27, when his "Civil Contract" colleagues arranged things with the help of furniture, Chairman Roubinian "stuck his head in the sand", even though it was his direct responsibility to stop the ugly scene. Later it became clear why. Nikol Pashinyan, who referred to the fight and the role of the State Duma deputies in it, said: "Whether they use a chair or something else, it is right and appropriate." Robinian does not participate in the battle. They are her manager, who pretended it didn't concern him, as the boss ordered him not to get involved. But the most worrying thing is not what happened in the hall. The most worrying thing is what might happen next. When the Speaker does not stop the fight, when the Prime Minister declares violence "proper", it does not stay in Parliament. It goes out into the street. Yesterday chairs flew in the conference room. Tomorrow they will become arguments for achieving political goals everywhere. The example of Ukraine is more eloquent.
