Кризис, переживаемый Арменией сегодня, носит прежде всего интеллектуальный и нравственный характер. Единственный подлинный выход — восстановление общества образованного, мыслящего и способного брать на себя ответственность за собственную судьбу. Без этого любые перемены будут неизбежно поверхностными и недолговечными.
In practice, the promised “justice for everyone” has turned into a new form of selectivity, where loyalty to the system is placed above the law, and law-enforcement bodies perform the function of preserving the status quo rather than protecting citizens. In this sense, Gabrielyan’s story is not an exception but a symptom — an example of how revolutionary rhetoric has proven to be an institutional lie.
The heroic deeds of Armenian servicemen run counter to the value system that Nikol Pashinyan’s team is gradually embedding in public discourse. In this system, heroism is replaced by survival at any cost, resistance is labeled a “useless sacrifice,” and dignity is dismissed as “outdated romanticism.”
When the authorities conceal their own incomes, multiply their expenditures, and lecture pensioners on what is supposedly “better” for them, this is neither an error nor a flaw. It is a deliberate policy — one in which the state budget ceases to be a public resource and instead becomes a closed fund for insiders.
The Public Tribunal regards the ongoing developments as a threat to the national security, national unity, and spiritual sovereignty of the Armenian people. We consider it inadmissible to exert pressure on the Catholicos of All Armenians, to discredit the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, or to involve the clergy in political scenarios that serve the interests of the authorities.
The Public Tribunal appeals to the citizens of the Republic of Armenia, urging them to take into account the true structure of financing of the incumbent authorities, their ties with business interests, and the systemic nature of corruption before deciding whether to support any political force in the 2026 parliamentary elections.

Stanford University professor Artur Khachikyan has sharply criticized Armenia’s incumbent authorities, accusing them of deceiving the Armenian people and failing to fulfill the promises made during the 2018 “Velvet Revolution.” According to him, the authorities not only failed to eradicate corruption but, in many respects, surpassed the previous regime in both corruption and incompetent governance.
During his analytical program Murazi Hour, Boris Murazi addressed an issue which, in his view, has gone beyond isolated incidents and evolved into a systemic phenomenon. He spoke about circles that, he claimed, have acted and continue to act as satellites of the incumbent authorities while presenting themselves as independent representatives of civil society.
Both the beginning and the end of Robert Kocharyan’s presidency were marked by tragic events that shaped Armenia’s political environment for years to come. The armed attack on the Armenian Parliament on October 27, 1999, shocked the young republic. Nearly a decade later, on March 1, 2008, a deepened political crisis culminated in bloody clashes on the streets of Yerevan. These events were not merely isolated tragedies; they planted explosive charges beneath public institutions, fueled mutual distrust, and led to a profound societal divide.
