There are essentially two approaches to problem solving: leading and following. If you choose to lead, you take responsibility for your own future and act accordingly with confidence and, when appropriate, defiance. When you follow, one is obligated to accept what others have decided as the path forward and are in a subordinated position to a

(1) Answer to your question: No.
(2) Pashinyan is a cynical, lying, conniving, cowardly “house-mouse” (Aliyev’s words). But it’s not just about his incompetence or lies, and frankly I no longer blame him that much. I do blame the gutless 50% of the Armenians who voted for him and are still digging their collective heads in the sand instead of marching on parliament, 250,000 strong, and insisting on his removal. You think if Pashinyan saw that crowd he wouldn’t flee to the comfort of the US embassy?
(3) Fish stinks from the head. Pashinyan, Simonyan, the so-called defense minister… all delusional, aimless wanderers who have probably amassed plenty of fortunes outside of Armenia. The reversal of this tragic melodrama can only begin with their en masse removal.
(4) The Armenian ambassador in Washington? Same. Probably more concerned about her Gucci shoes than anything else… Missing in action would be putting it over-the-top kindly.
(5) Perverted definition of democracy… even with a non-perverted definition, if perverts are in charge democracy is meaningless.
(6) the Armenian Church? More concerned about renovating or building new churches than bringing its moral power (I’m making an assumption) and showing a real act of defiance.
It’s a societal problem.
I agree with you that the only ray of hope is Ruben Vardanyan. He is putting his own life on the line.
Nikol is a Western and Turkish backed political movement in Armenia. This was obvious from day one. This is also why Russians are keeping Armenia at an arms length. All these people crying now abut Artsakh were the same ones that supported Nikol’s rise to power. Hell will freeze over before Armenians get politically wise. Enjoy your democracy.
Another excellent analysis and call to action. I can only hope our organizations and political parties take heed.
