ArmInfo.The start was in 1998, when the ruling calls was removed, said political expert Stepan Danielyan.
In 1998, Armenia's first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan linked power to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which turned into an ideology of struggle for power.
"One camp, in order to have power, chose the thesis not to give up Artsakh as an ideologist, thereby justifying the legitimacy of its power, the other, on the contrary, advocated the surrender of Artsakh and for this they must come to power. In both cases, the key word is "power."
On March 1, 2008, those who wanted to surrender Artsakh were crushed in the street and turned March 1 into their Avarayr battle. Their core was the class that lost power in 1998. Their flag was hatred for Artsakh. Later, those who surrendered Artsakh rejected their prophet, but this is not important, the sect has already been formed," the expert said.
According to the political scientist, it was then that external forces appeared there, which in various ways began to support the supporters of the surrender of Artsakh.
"It was here that external forces appeared, which began to support those who surrendered Artsakh in various ways, and the legitimization of the coming to power was to surrender Artsakh. How they supported is another interesting topic," Danielyan said.
The political scientist expressed his conviction that the 2018 conspiracy was the result of a trinity - external forces, their henchman "civil society" and those who were removed from the trough of power in 1998.
"In 2018, they came to power with the aim of surrendering Artsakh, this is their political "theology", this is also an external order.
Here the question arises, what were the National Security Service, the Ministry of Defense, Serzh Sargsyan and other responsible structures doing? I think they should answer the following questions: why did they not notice the conspiracy, or maybe they themselves were accomplices ...? I hope we will hear the answers to these questions, and I will be glad if the answers can dispel doubts.
But now the urgent problem is to remove them, urgently, in a velvet, non-violent way.
And remember the classic, the door of the government is the door of the people," Danielyan said.
