RA NA MP Lilit Galstyan writes:
"The recent events in Syria, as well as the upcoming, inevitably painful, or rather breakthrough developments, are perhaps the last warning to Armenia. Naturally, these realities should be looked at and evaluated in the context of regional and global tectonic upheavals and the new socio-political architecture to be formed as a result.
The scenario is more than obvious, the actions are fast-paced. The collapse of the Syrian state was a matter of days. unperceived for many, clearly planned for some... The geopolitical balance in our region has been broken in favor of Turkey, and at least at this point, the interests of Russia and Iran have other priorities.
By the way, Turkey's hands and appetite were opened in 2020, when under the political blindness of the collective West, perhaps with tacit consent, the green light was given to carry out a genocidal military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Turkey were neither held accountable nor sanctioned for their committed war crimes. For the democratic West, energy-resource interests are more important than international law, institutions and conventions...
Moreover, Brussels hastened to announce that the West cannot promise security guarantees to Armenia, and the "loyalty" of the European Union in our region is NATO member Turkey.
We have appeared in a status of a marginalized and politically useless bankrupt, when the Armenian "negotiator" who has lost his supports on all international platforms, "crowned" his own negotiation process with a national tragedy, is looking for the existence of Armenian statehood and security guarantees on the platform of two genocidal states/one people/.
An inevitable question-alarm hangs in the air, especially in the context of the recent geopolitical events and the Syrian events: are the RA authorities able to soberly weigh the realities and make strategic decisions at this critical moment for Armenia?
Do they in RA remember the friendly embrace between Syria and Turkey before 2011?
No and no! The legacy of the defeat of the current authorities, the entire anatomy of disintegrating the country, the narratives of the domestic platforms, and the in-government bravado clearly say NO!
Unfortunately, the priority in Armenia is the concentration of power in the hands of one person. In a country governed by SMS, even their own people are "spoiled" / this is the CP-HJ assessment of H. Aghazaryan/ thus distracting attention with false agendas, also intimidating and putting a "povodok" of obedience on the necks of other people.
All fields of opposition and dissent have been consistently destroyed or discredited in the handwriting typical of all totalitarian regimes.
During the last few months, the pan-Turkish and anti-state narratives have been heard so intensely from the NA podium, and the public opposition to it has been so zero that one might think that the Armenian society is in a suicidal stupor and ready to abandon its civilized code.
It is obvious. our collective senses, perceptions and public receptors are dulled. / The reasons are profound, but that's another topic.../.
On the other hand, the regimes have a historically proven algorithm for collapsing, and there are not a few nations and borders that have become historic under those ruins...
Azerbaijan is openly preparing for a new war. It is obvious that the West has legitimized the war as an instrument of the new geopolitical architecture.
At this moment, we Armenians must form the vital, fatal question-recommendation:
WILL WE HAVE THE DESIRE TO REMAIN IN HISTORY WITH OUR CIVIL CODE - ARMENIAN STATE OR DO WE PRECHOOSE THE ROLE OF MELTING AND BECOME AN ELEMENT OF THE CIVIL Smelter?
IF YES, ARE WE ABLE TO GET ORGANIZED, DEVELOP A LONG-TERM STRATEGY AND TRY TO BREAK THIS MACHINE WITH A NATION-FAMILY, NATION-STATE OR ANOTHER VIABLE MODEL? To be discussed and continued..."
