ArmInfo. This government is suffering defeat before everyone's eyes - in Yerevan, Gyumri, Vanadzor, and in all the regions and villages. Political scientist and co-founder of the "Alternative Projects" group Vahe Hovhannisyan expressed this opinion on his Facebook page.
He noted that the current government lacks the support of any social class, and even the effectiveness of campaign promises regarding health insurance is weakening.
According to the political scientist, the authorities have no program, no project - only threats and insults. "Armenia has never had such a hollow government. Even in 2021, they at least talked about something - de-occupation of Artsakh, self-determination, and so on - although they later did the exact opposite. In 2021, they at least lied beautifully, but now they don't even have the desire to do so. Lies are their only programmatic thesis, and Aliyev's support is their only support," Hovhannisyan wrote.
At the same time, he said, the opposition faces several simple tasks. Specifically, they include expanding dialogue with various segments of society, identifying risks, and presenting their own programs to neutralize them, without making obvious, grave mistakes.
According to the political scientist, the government lacks the resources to strengthen its own position - its only recourse is to resort to harsher insults and threats. "If it resorts to gross violations or bans against any political forces, it will only worsen the situation. Of course, the Moldovan, Romanian, and Nikolov scenarios are still on its mind," Hovhannisyan said.
According to him, the mechanism of election fraud and the abuse of administrative and security resources is still operating at full capacity. The last temptation for the authorities, recognizing their defeat, could be, as the political scientist wrote, the unrestrained use of force.
