Artsakh ex-FM calls for neutralizing "false prophets" and  "demagogues" 

Artsakh ex-FM calls for neutralizing "false prophets" and  "demagogues" 

ArmInfo. Artsakh ex-FM David Babayan has left the following Facebook message: 

"Often we can see a very interesting situation which is often  difficult to understand for ordinary people, and sometimes even for  politically mature people. And this is skillfully used by those who  play the appropriate game. The essence of the question is the  following dilemma: can we consider voicing he right ideas, slogans  and notions so pleasing to the people and society as criteria for  honesty and decency, patriotism and devotion to national interests?

"The most dangerous periods in this context are the fateful times,  when the number of "figures" voicing the right ideas and approaches  is growing exponentially. This is quite objective, because the more  difficult the situation in the country is the more society is looking  for saviors, the more people are waiting for good news, the more the  nation becomes sentimental. And it is precisely at such a time that  the number of demagogues, speculators, scoundrels and infiltrated  elements, pursuing their narrowly selfish personal political,  financial and other goals drastically increases, consciously or  unconsciously helping the enemy.  They are a kind of false prophets.  But, do false prophets or representatives of the "dark" forces voice  vile goals from the very beginning? No, of course, they appeal to the  ideas of goodness, justice, fraternity, patriotism, correct and holy  concepts, yelling foaming at the mouth about their commitment to  these ideas and their willingness to sacrifice themselves for them.  And only at the very end, when everything is already going as they  themselves plan, the true goals and objectives of these objects and  subjects are revealed. 

"Unfortunately, at this stage sometimes it is either too late to  change the situation, or ameliorating the situation requires enormous  losses and sacrifices. 

"Of course, in fateful times there are also normal and honest  individuals in society, true patriots and people devoted to the  nation. However, the specifics of politics are that in the time or  ordeal it is the false prophets who appear to be the noisiest and  very numerous in number.

"Meanwhile, the neutralization of false prophets and demagogues is  absolutely necessary, moreover, without this it will be impossible to  neutralize external threats of an existential nature. Yes, we must  understand that without self-purification, without getting rid of  various kinds of wickedness, it will be impossible to save the  country. When we talk about voicing the right and dear ideas, it is  important to understand that there are a number of key components  that must be taken into account. First, it is a factor of time and  place. The same idea expressed at different times can have a  completely different impact, can create more threats than eliminate  them. This does not in any sense mean that national ideas and  aspirations should be abandoned or consigned to oblivion, not at all.  This means avoiding speculation with these ideas, voicing them for no  reason, which can also devalue them.

"It is also very important who voices these ideas. True patriots and  professionals, people whose heart and soul really aches for the  people and the state, will not every day, every hour uninterruptedly  crackle about their devotion to ideals, readiness to sacrifice  themselves for the people, shamelessly publicly advertise it.  Here  everyone should ask himself one question. Who is this figure or  figures, what does he or they want to achieve, how in practice they  have proved their commitment to all this. In practice means during  his conscious life, in his area of specialization. Our society is  relatively small and it is very easy to know who is who. In addition,  it is quite obvious that we must stay away from loudmouths and  boasters, moreover, such elements must be kept as far as possible  from the system of public administration.

"The key here is that decent people should no longer be shy and show  excessive modesty. We are at the most fateful period of our history,  and patriots must unite, stigmatize and neutralize false prophets,  demagogues and rogues. The Fatherland is in serious danger, and even  passivity here is tantamount to betrayal."
