Shahnazaryan seems a true Armenian revolutionary–in the best possible sense of the word. Her analyses are spot-on, and they essentially outline a framework for resistance. I’m eager to see the second part of this interview published.
Armenians need to support activists like Anna and not stay quiet and do nothing. The nation is in grave danger of being destroyed by the people in power who are fuelling corruption and greed for their own benefit. When everything goes wrong all these people will have their billions stashed away in foreign bank accounts whilst the people who care will have to pick up the pieces. Time to wake up
Armenian stealing from Armenians. Hasn’t changed a bit. True traitors of the country and its starts with the Armenian leader. No different then Azeri’s or Turks doing it physically. Its has to be exposed and come to an end. The average Armenian inside doesn’t have a choice. The resistance and spotlight and pressure needs to come from the diaspora. These practices need to be exposed and rejected.
yes, we need to stand up and not be quiet. How? Let’s start from not kissing the hand of Vehapar Karekin II and roll the red carpet for state officials when they come to US or go to Armenia and be eager to be photographed with officials , or assist Armenia by giving money to the corrupt government. Diasporans must understand that corruption in Armenia is endemic and it’s institutionalized. It cannot disappear through elections and unfortunately there are not left any legal means by which to overcome this system as the judicial is also corrupted and in the pocket of the leading political party.So all we can do is speak out against corruption asking officials for accountability and saying Enough is Enough – otherwise the mass exodus of Armenians will leave our country vulnerable in terms of national security i.e.Karabagh and we lose all intellectuals and good leaders who potentially can build the nation.
