Freudian Slip?
With some opposition activists believing that the 2008 Presidential Elections will see Robert Kocharian pass on power to his trusted lieutenant, Defense Minister Serzh Sarkisyan, while he takes over the position of Prime Minister, Panorama.am has a funny news item on what it sees as a possible freudian slip and forecast for the future.
No one at the second international Armagroforum misheard Minister of Agriculture Davit Lockyan who said at the opening ceremony, “President of Armenia, Robert Sargsyan, has an address to the conference.” Participants could not help their laughs at the hall.
Soon after Karen Tchshmaritsyan, minister of trade and economic development, made another mistake in his speech at Panarmenian EXPO-2006 saying, “The honor to open the exhibition is given to Robert Kocharyan, Armenian prime minister.” The president took the mistake with humor and smiled.
Of course, no one is guaranteed against such mistakes but psychologists believe that mistakes made by chance have deep subconscious roots. We can say that one of our ministers envisages someone with the surname Sargsyan as a president (most probably Serzh Sargsyan) while the other minister thinks that Robert Kocharyan may become a prime minister and administer the government. Such developments are variously scenarioed by the opposition. /Panorama.am/
Not sure if I buy into that, but funny — even if many here are not laughing.
