Analyst: People in Armenia are ripe to the realization that chatter  is not only talk about the surrender of territories, about the war,  but also the negotiations on  Artsakh

ArmInfo.The Karabakh war in April 2016 in many ways began to lead us out of the twenty-year state of drowsiness, just the same, awakening in people the gleam of  rationalism. Manvel Sargsyan, director of the Armenian Center for  Strategic and National Studies, expressed his opinion to ArmInfo.  

"People began to discuss massively the problems of security,  negotiations, problems in their own army." Prior to April 2016,  someone was interested in these problems: they were foreign problems,  another's war, the society finally saw through the entire  irrationalism of its assessment of the security sphere and saw the  reality ", he noted.  According to analysts, people in Armenia are so  mature that they are perfectly aware that the chatter is not only  talk about surrendering the territories, about the war, but also the  negotiations on Artsakh itself.  Accordingly, these normal people,  and now there are almost no abnormal people, they are looking at the  situation from the outside.

"They look and react, building houses in which no one lives, buying  Cars including those on which there is nobody to drive, but about  surrender territories do not reflect, realizing all the futility of  such inventions.  And it is the Artsakh conflict that leads society  to abandon irrationalism to rationality, "- summed up Sargsyan.
