“Acting is great when it happens on a stage, where people perform, but it is disgusting in life, where people live. It is because talented people act on the stage, whereas mean and hypocritical people act in life.”
Spring has come - the time of nature’s awakening, renewal, and hope. With each passing day, May draws nearer, a month that holds a special place in the historical memory of Armenians. For decades, even centuries, May has been perceived not merely as a calendar month but also as a symbol of strength, endurance, and the victories of the Armenian people.
The September events were not merely a military operation. They unfolded within a specific political atmosphere largely shaped by the Armenian authorities themselves. Their so-called “peace agenda” in practice turned out to be a risky experiment in which the country’s security was made dependent on vague international guarantees.
Robert Kocharyan, as an experienced statesman, remains one of the key opposition figures. Businessman Samvel Karapetyan possesses significant managerial and economic potential. Another influential political actor is Gagik Tsarukyan, whose possible alliance with the above-mentioned centers could create a serious organizational and resource-based political pole.
National interests require sober calculation, balance, and consistent steps - the development of new partnerships without “burning old bridges.” So far, Nikol Pashinyan’s political course resembles a movement toward existential risks and threats, where declared neutrality is turning into a risky venture, and the cost of potential mistakes may prove too high for the state and the nation.
Armenia’s security today hinges on the ability of its leaders to assess the reality with clarity. Attempts to maneuver between competing centers of influence without a coherent strategy have led to a situation where external guarantees are now conditional, while the risks are immediate and very real.
Ultimately, an image of a “bloody embezzler” was constructed, combining the March 1 tragedy with financial allegations.
How can one speak about the necessity of consolidating the opposition for the sake of “national salvation,” while simultaneously deciding to run independently, fully aware that the political force in question is unlikely to overcome the electoral threshold?
Особую опасность представляет продолжающееся игнорирование изменяющейся международной среды. В условиях, когда вокруг Ирана формируется потенциальный очаг крупного конфликта, сохранение курса на геополитические эксперименты выглядит не просто ошибкой, а фактором прямого риска для государственности и предательством национальных интересов.
The authorities openly declare: “We will not allow other forces to form a majority in the National Assembly.”
