Political scientist: Today, almost all political forces in Armenia  are working to destroy the basis that, with fits and starts, has been  created over the past 30 years

ArmInfo. Armenia's problem is not to remove the incumbent government from the levers of control; the problem is what to do next. Political scientist, director of the  Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan stated this at a video press  conference.  

In his words, today it is difficult to predict whom the  citizens of Armenia will vote for if parliamentary elections are held  tomorrow. For which political parties and forces the citizens of the  country will vote. At the same time, the political scientist  expressed doubt that the currently ruling <My Step> bloc will gain  the required number of votes, just as there is no confidence in the  success of the Prosperous Armenia party headed by Gagik Tsarukyan in  the elections. And for this reason, it is not known who will  negotiate with Azerbaijan for each piece, for each meter of  territory. The problem, as Iskandaryan noted, is not in the formation  of the army, but in a very acute political crisis, when it is  necessary to restart the state. "It is necessary to build the basis  of the state, to decide on the question of who will plan the correct  policy of this or that state body, what managers will come. The  problem is this," the political scientist believes, noting that the  task should be creation, not destruction.

Today, Iskandaryan continued, almost all political forces are working  to destroy the basis that, with fits and starts, has been created  over the past 30 years. Assuming a possible change of power, the  political scientist expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the  new rulers, who are currently united by their speeches in the squares  on a negative basis, opposing the current order. But what will happen  if this order disappears, Iskandaryan asks, adding that they will  immediately quarrel. "A struggle for positions will begin, the  government will have to include in its composition people who stood  in the squares, but who are not capable of managing," the political  scientist said.

In his opinion, Nikol Pashinyan is the materialization of aspirations  of a huge number of people who, in order to dismiss the previous  government, were ready to vote for parliament, not knowing  practically anything about the candidates. This parliament is called  in international practice as an unknown parliament.  There has never  been such an unknown parliament in the history of Armenia. And if  Nikol Pashinyan had proposed completely different people, he would  have been elected with exactly the same success, because it was not  the parliament itself that was elected, but the mood that reigned 2.5  years ago. "At the same time, a primitive approach to politics was  chosen according to the principle" we bring good people and  everything will be fine. "People chose the hope for a miracle. CCTV  cameras will be removed, the money that will be taken from the  oligarchs will be directed to a threefold increase in salaries, etc.  etc. ", - said the political scientist.  He stated that the problem  of building a state cannot be solved simply and quickly. These are  the problems of institutionalization, consensus, development of  various ways of management, "" We will lose the places that  Azerbaijanis will take, even if tomorrow other people come to power  in the country. We'll lose it anyway. We need to raise the country.  The problem is complicated, but it is necessary to follow this path,  "the political scientist emphasized.
