Weak resistance cause of Armenian people`s problems - expert 

ArmInfo. For the Armenian people, the jester and the king have merged into one, they are in one person. Political scientist, member of the "Alternative Projects Group" Vahe Hovhannisyan writes about this in his article.

According to him, warnings to the Armenian people about impending  disasters come from everywhere:  from Baku, Moscow, Ankara, Tehran,  Minsk, Washington, Paris: People within the state concerned about the  development of the situation also periodically splash out their  emotions, but the situation does not change. "We need to correctly  understand why we are in such a situation, why are we calmly waiting  for Day X with a national pre-emigration mentality? And most  importantly, what can be done to prevent a catastrophe?

At the root of our current crisis at the state and national levels  are three factors that must be changed quickly: governance defects,  underdeveloped institutions of resistance, and the sociology of  defeat. For us, the jester and the king have merged into one. And  this is an extremely serious challenge. In royal palaces, these are  usually different characters, but in the history of nations, there  are rare deviations that always lead to disastrous consequences. The  clown is allowed to say many dangerous things, sometimes true, but he  says them without having the leverage to make them believe. The king  listens, forcing others to listen not to what he says with his own  lips, but he has the leverage to be cold-blooded and rational. When a  tragic coincidence occurs, the clown says a lot of stupid things that  people do not take seriously, and the royal half, having the  leverage, implements them, bringing disasters to their own people,"  the political scientist notes.

According to him, as a king, this person brings disasters, but as a  jester, he ensures that people go towards troubles carefree and in a  good mood.

"This is a serious problem that we need to solve. Has there been a  rebellion in the ruling team after the latest statements? No. Has the  number of those making "worthy" statements decreased? No. Has the  public elite offered clear solutions? No. Has an atmosphere of total  rejection formed? No. Are the streets filled with indignant people?  No. The reason for all this is the inferiority and weakness of the  institutions of resistance," the political scientist concluded.
