Vazgen Manukyan: Armenia`s political and social forces need to make  efforts to way out of a difficult situation 

ArmInfo. The political and social forces of Armenia need to make every effort to way out of a difficult situation. This is stated in a statement distributed by the  head of the "Vernatun" socio-political club Vazgen Manukyan.

It should be noted that Vazgen Manukyan is not only the first Prime  Minister of independent Armenia, but also the current head of the  Public Council of Armenia, and therefore the dissemination of the  statement without mentioning his high public status seems to be at  least a strange and inexplicable fact.

And, nevertheless, in the statement, in particular, it was noted that  after the declaration of independence, the country was faced with  many internal and external problems. Some of them were resolved,  while the other part was not. Along with independence and victory in  the Artsakh war of liberation, there were also omissions in the  country - imperfect institutions of government, a distorted electoral  system, social polarization and a lack of justice. 

The current government, having public support for the implementation  of reforms, went to the inefficient use of this resource and in a way  contrary to its own. This path has led to a decrease in the security  level of Armenia and Artsakh, and to the inefficient functioning of  the public administration system. There is no vision of the country's  development, there is no healthy political agenda and real programs  of economic development.

Manukyan states that as a result of the policy pursued by the  authorities, the negotiation process on the Karabakh conflict has  reached an impasse, which has increased the likelihood of a  resumption of large- scale hostilities, and foreign policy challenges  have multiplied. Contrary to the promises of <love and tolerance>,  the division of society into <black and white>, <ours- your> created  an atmosphere of mutual hatred.

In his opinion, illegal attacks on the Constitutional Court, attacks  on the judicial system, the use of double standards in investigative  and judicial practice and selective "justice" lead to the  establishment of monopolization of power. The trial in the case of  "March 01" has passed into the political plane. "We think that  political forces, including the government, public organizations and  activists should make every effort to get out of this situation.
