Forecast: Next time the Armenian society will be more attentive to  its choice

ArmInfo.Next time the Armenian society will be much more attentive to the object of its own choice. Sociologist Karen Sargsyan expressed this opinion to ArmInfo.

"I don't think that our nation is frightened by what has happened in  the last couple of months. For a people who have survived genocide,  this cannot be a reason for fear. Two-thirds of our nation lives  outside Armenia. This allows us to realize inside our country what we  want, by receiving strong external support at the same time. We will  elect a new ruling party, government, prime minister. If you don't  like it, we will choose others, "he said.

Stressing the absence of clear, verified paths, successful situations  that can be accurately projected for Armenia, the sociologist is  convinced that it is impossible to apply the experience of one  society or another.  According to him, it is impossible to take and  apply the same Singaporean experience in Armenia.  Moreover, both  completely and partially. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to adopt  principles.

In the current internal political situation, Sargsyan attaches  importance to the fact that the citizens of Armenia are looking for  new people, new political faces. According to him, people are no  longer going to follow the current government or its predecessors.  Meanwhile, the very fact of the search, in his opinion, is already a  sign of the brain's work, which is already a positive factor.

"The situation of lack of choice, lack of an alternative is far from  new for us. We saw the same picture during the years of Serzh  Sargsyan's rule. And today we have returned to the need to realize  our own civic desires. What do we want for ourselves, our family, our  country, where are we do we want to go? And only having formulated  the answers to these questions for ourselves, we can choose one of  the candidates as leaders, "he stressed.

Recalling that the Armenian people for the past hundreds of years no  one has ever asked about their wishes and preferences, the  sociologist emphasized the impossibility of changing this situation  without the realization that the government is just a hired worker.  "We must understand that the prime minister is just a person serving  our interests and receiving a salary from us. We chose Nikol  Pashinyan, and he did not live up to our trust. But life does not end  there. And now we have to make a new choice until we reach the one we  need. And Pashinyan has to leave and not interfere with this choice,  "the sociologist summed up.
