The only platform to change Armenia
Like prior to all elections, this time again, on the threshold of pre-election round, the political agenda is full of talks on unification of the opposition. Almost everyone is touching upon inevitability of opposition powers consolidation, alternativeness of participation in alliance format. However, in all those talks main answer to the question lacks: particularly and mostly around which should the opposition unite to make it a guarantee for the victory?
For the sake of regime change, for having a better country and likewise answers are anachronistic, as life and the opposition showed that unification around such purposes is the shortest road to failure. In fact, the oppositional powers can and should unite around such principles and purposes, which will distinguish that union and its comprising powers from the authorities and power-making opposition. They’ll be distinguished not by speeches and slogans, but basically and to all likelihood, by content, not by form.
So, which question or issue may differentiate the political powers from incumbent leadership and power-making opposition? Answer to this question is both complicated, simple and obvious—foreign policy and other policies deriving from it. Economic, social, cultural policies, in which the opposition, varying by its approaches, may attempt to distinguish, in fact derive from foreign policy orientation.
As currently the course of foreign policy, first and foremost, is choice of values and civilization, which provides the state’s attitude towards the main value, which lies on its ground or excluded from the basis. In the civilized world that ground and value is the person, which, to all likelihood, is the person and to whom all the means are served. In Russian world, in which Armenia is now, a person is a means for Armenia’s opposition to consolidate. They’ve been united not by language flexibility to avoid this issue, but by language simplicity and directness through speaking this issue. Touching upon the point, if Armenia’s citizens intend to live in a good country and leave their children a state to live in and not to fight, then they should vote for the powers, which will move the country from bog and darkness to the light. It’s the only political platform, around which unification of opposition powers may bring success.
It’s the platform, in case of stabilization of which all the pseudo-opposition will be emitted and identified with the authorities, the opposition, which swearing a few Ministers and defaming a few governors, attempt to play an opposition, at the same time playing the Russian game. If our opposition consolidates around that platform, real radical and revolutionary changes will be recorded in Armenia, without uprooting and revolution. If they fail, or partially succeed, the authorities will more strengthen by rooting Russian everything in Armenia.
Moreover, the situation is so complicated nowadays, and by that so simple, that if the powers, appearing as opposition, fail to unite in the mentioned platform, then by their non-consolidation they’ll serve the policy of Russianism. It’s a secondary issue whether it’s realized or not, payable or free.
