ArmInfo.If there is a normal government and a normal opposition in Armenia, and a normal political society, the lion's share of the questions addressed to the authorities would concern the problems of countering external threats. We continue, as before, to be guided by a falsified public agenda, within the framework of which the theatrical performance "ex- current" is unfolding.
Former chairman of the board of the Heritage party Armen Martirosyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo. In his opinion, the country lives by the old rules, which is reflected in the composition of the new parliament: old oligarchs, republicans, former military men, etc. This suggests that the power, its content, in fact, has not changed. And we can state that the format and range of issues discussed in Armenia in no way corresponds to the threats existing today against Armenia, "he stressed.
According to the politician, the current government and all its predecessors are to blame for the current state of affairs in the country, for the defeat in Artsakh. The representatives of the former authorities are unable to cope with the current situation, they were unable to quickly prepare the country for war. The latter did their best to plunder, weaken the country and concentrate economic leverage and wealth in several hands and in the hands of external players.
Nevertheless, today, in Martirosyan's opinion, all the politicians who are guilty for the current situation in Armenia and the defeat in Artsakh have gathered in the parliament: Robert Kocharian, Serzh Sargsyan, Nikol Pashinyan and their entourage. All these people, according to the politician, today are staging a comedy in parliament and outside of it, which leaves no hope for the formation of solutions to existing problems within the framework of a political palette of a similar quality.
Moreover, according to the assessments of the politician, the current government only adds new ones to the existing problems. One of which, in his opinion, is the large-scale deployment of the Russian military on the borders of Armenia taking place today. Meanwhile, the protection of borders, according to his conviction, should be carried out exclusively within the framework of the powers of the Republic of Armenia and the authorities of the country must organize it. And what is happening clearly does not add independence to Armenia in decision-making and in the quality and strength of sovereignty. Martirosyan extremely negatively assessed the completely pro-Russian policy of the current authorities of Armenia, noting that under the current conditions one can hope for its diversification only by hoping for a miracle. Meanwhile, according to his forecasts, even today Armenia is quite capable of ensuring its own security. For this, it is necessary to create an atmosphere of solidarity in the country and diversify foreign policy, in particular, in the field of security.
"In reality, even today the West, of course, proceeding from its own interests, is trying to assist Armenia. And we see that at this stage his interests coincide with those of Armenia. And the United States, France, Europe, unlike Russia and Turkey, talk about the need to revive the OSCE Minsk Group, three principles for resolving the Artsakh problem: non-use of force, the right of peoples to self-determination and territorial integrity. And here it is important to emphasize that in today's changed realities, all these three principles are in Armenia's interests, "Martirosyan summed up.
