Time for national mobilization - David Ananyan 

ArmInfo. The time has come for a national mobilization, former head of the State Revenue Committee  of Armenia David Ananyan wrote on social media. Opposition MP Tigran Abrahamyan, in turn, notes that there are large-scale movements in different directions of the border line and, at the same time, expresses doubts about the ability of the authorities to manage these risks.

"Over the past two days, the flow of information presented by various  users, political scientists, analysts, as well as military experts on  social networks related to the accumulation of military equipment by  Azerbaijan on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border (in areas in Vayots  Dzor, Gegharkunik and Syunik regions) has increased.

At the same time, the Azerbaijani media is flooded with propaganda  materials and rhetoric about the launch of new military operations  against Armenia.

It seems that we ourselves, through our indifference,  short-sightedness and incompetence, have created such a "favorable"  moment that it seems that the likelihood of a large-scale war against  Armenia from Azerbaijan and Turkey is quite high (if not inevitable).

The government is again busy with nothing... Elections to the Council  of Elders of Yerevan, the implementation of steps leading to a  conspiratorial and deliberate severance of relations with a strategic  ally (ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal  Court, interviews with international media, short-sighted statements  by high-ranking officials in the public space or during the election  campaign mayor, etc.).

The opposition, for its part, seems to be preparing another attempt  at consolidation, making calculations...  Gentlemen, how long have  you been calculating?

Maybe now it's time for all of us to stop all this and announce a  national mobilization?," Ananyan wrote.

Member of the opposition faction "I Have the Honor" Tigran Abrahamyan  also notes that there are large- scale movements in different  directions of the border line, and, at the same time, some of this  information is disseminated by Baku itself.

"The September battles of 2022 were not predicted by the Armenian  authorities, moreover, as far as I know, the advance of Azerbaijani  troops was not recorded in advance or was observed in such numbers  that were not considered particularly dangerous. Let me remind you  that as a result of those battles, the sovereignty and territorial  integrity of the Republic of Armenia was violated; according to  official data, 225 people were killed, and Azerbaijani troops are  still in the territories seized from the Republic of Armenia,"  Abrahamyan wrote on his page on the social network.

At the same time, according to him, the infrastructure work carried  out by Azerbaijan on the front line gave it the opportunity to equip  the front line as unnoticed as possible. Of course, this is a big  problem not only for this work, but also for intelligence.

Now, these days, large-scale movements observed in different  directions of the border line, most of which are becoming known from  Azerbaijan, are unclear whether this is a show of force, a threat,  blackmail, or whether Azerbaijan has decided to carry out an  operation on one scale or another.

At least there are "working" factors for both scenarios, however, the  factor of unpredictability is completely failed, which is an  important indicator in such cases. 

Presumably, the General Staff and the Intelligence Services have more  information, but we know how risks are managed in our country and  with what efficiency steps are taken, we also know this, since over  the past five years thousands of victims and incalculable territorial  losses have resulted from this," noted opposition member of the  National Assembly.
