We need to create system that prevent one-man rule in Armenia -  expert 

ArmInfo.  Armenia's disintegration is so profound that gradual restoration is impossible. This must be discussed honestly and conclusions drawn. Political scientist and member of the Alternative Projects group, Vahe  Hovhannisyan, shares a similar view.

According to him, the "Armenia Proposal" program should be a  comprehensive plan reflecting Armenia's post-war recovery and  formulating new national short-term and strategic goals. It should  imply mutual agreement on governance principles for the coming years  and the establishment of new rules of coexistence, which will include  a clear and strict list of "don'ts." The Armenia of tomorrow must  have a society with a mentality of mutual respect, the ability to  listen to one another, make concessions, and be tolerant. 

"Our internal aggression, shaped by forced poverty, must disappear as  a social trait. The primary task is to revive positive national  traits-intensive propaganda, rethinking, and reconstructing the image  of a literate and dignified Armenian. This must become one of the  most important processes in Armenia and the Armenian world. We must  destroy the image of the pathetic, broken, materialistic Armenian,  which is unfortunately now encouraged. In the coming decades, we must  prioritize this issue, working from early childhood.

We must have the courage to fully comprehend what has happened to us  since 2018, to go through a period of public shame and repentance. We  must understand why state institutions were so weak and how one  person was able to replace all systems with his personality and do  whatever he wanted without interference.  We need to understand how  the social layer of henchmen, all those who carry out illegal orders,  is formed, and how to prevent such a recurrence.

Finally, we need to create a system that will ensure no one can ever  rule Armenia alone. Create mechanisms and counterweights so that no  one can ever lead the country to a historic tragedy with their  unilateral decisions, so that a situation never again arises where  the country's future depends on the wishes of the Aliyevs. Let's take  a close look at our course over the last century. It has recorded a  systematic decline in our territory and population. Armenia faces the  simultaneous danger of brutal aggression and hybrid assimilation by  its neighbors. Our statecraft and national seriousness lie in  recognizing this acute challenge and neutralizing it with exclusively  competent steps. We must have the right statecraft to move toward  post-war reconstruction and lay the foundation for a modern Armenian  state," Vahe Hovhannisyan emphasized.
