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.”
В последнее время Армен Ашотян на своей странице в Facebook написал, что будущее Армении заключается в европейской цивилизованной семье, отметив при этом, что именно усилиями Сержа Саргсяна в 2017 году была создана дорожная карта интеграции в это сообщество.
A nation that fails to understand the true causes of its own tragedy is doomed to face the same tests again. A nation that dares to demand the truth restores its dignity and secures its right to the future.
One of the key risks for the opposition is that, in the event of a sudden shift in the parameters of the election campaign - such as the refusal to register certain candidates, a pivot toward a referendum-centered campaign, or restrictions on voting from abroad - the time available to adapt to the new conditions would be minimal.
Today, when many claim that Armenian society has become inert and indifferent to recent developments, to the loss of Artsakh, and to the erosion of national values, they overlook an important fact: none of this began with the political shift of 2018. The roots run much deeper.
