Despite Mikael Minasyan’s efforts to reframe his actions as mere “mistakes of a human being,” reality tells a different story. He was neither an observer nor an accidental participant in political developments. On the contrary, his role was systemic and decisive - from controlling media resources and financing key platforms to participating in the formation of the team that later carried out the “velvet revolution.”

The idea of a new political platform, “Against All,” has been widely discussed in Armenia in recent months. It is presented as a way to mobilize voters who usually remain outside the electoral process: disappointed, apathetic citizens who have lost confidence in both the authorities and the traditional opposition. This raises the question of whether the declared goals correspond to reality, or whether this is merely another political tactic aimed at dispersing opposition votes.

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.
