If Armenia`s incumbent authorities reproduce, Sevan will become lake  for shared use with Azerbaijan

ArmInfo.  If the current government in Armenia is restored, European commissioners and  European leaders will soon welcome "Armenia's bold steps to transform  Lake Sevan into a shared lake with Azerbaijan and organize the return  of Azerbaijani refugees." Political scientist and member of the  Alternative Projects Group, Vahe Hovhannisyan, wrote this on his  Facebook page.

"They will also give the project a beautiful name, say, 'Sea of  Reconciliation.' Then resistance will lose its meaning. We must speak  openly about this with our own people. Part of our society has  embarked on the path to the destruction of our state. They understand  everything perfectly well, but they are making up excuses for  themselves. Can the situation be changed? Definitely yes, if  important steps are taken. First of all, it is necessary to separate  the 'narrow group' from the rest, engage in open discussions with  those who remain, and initiate an open dialogue with an indifferent  society. These are the most important areas of work," the political  scientist noted.

He emphasized that socio-political opposition systems must address  this collective problem using a decentralized approach. This is one  of the keys to success. "In Armenia, there is a system of  "Gauleiters" - executive, security, spiritual, intellectual and other  types. Gauleiters and collaborators are always together.  As a rule,  their entourage completely rejects everything and everyone, which  leads to the collapse of this quasi-system. The collective task of  socio-political opposition systems should be to change the public  atmosphere. This requires leaders to have a different toolkit than  concern for their own reputation or envy of others. Let us remember  that the society preparing for elections is now exactly such a one,  when 25% of the population tolerates everything, and 75% wants  change. This situation has two possible resolutions: if a significant  part of society, to one degree or another, makes efforts to destroy  their state, and it will collapse, and if a significant part of this  same society indifferently watches this process, then the country  will collapse again. If conscious public activists, including the  opposition political system, understand this and build the right "If  we develop a strategy based on the rules of 'what to say,' 'what to  do,' sound calculation, teamwork (not envy), and norms of  coexistence, then success will certainly come. The government is  making grave mistakes that must be exploited," the political  scientist noted. Vahe Hovhannisyan believes that the anti-church  campaign has created an unprecedented historical unity between the  people and the Church, the people and the Patriarch. "The propaganda  aimed at turning us into a stateless state has created unprecedented  unity under the anti-government banner. How can we take advantage of  these mistakes? The concept of opposition cannot be reduced to a  leader, a mandate, or a share in the next government. This is a crime  against history. On the contrary, the mistakes of the government  create exceptional opportunities for broad unity, tacit alliances,  and community. Anyone who rejects this reality and understands the  danger is the opposition. Let's expand the concept of opposition, and  it will become Channel 9. Unity is not a list or a future position.  It is a community of speaking and working. My suggestion to everyone:  let's work together, in every possible way, our and your methods,  past and present styles, let's explain to people what these elections  are about. Media, interactive communications, press conferences,  announcements, family events, conversations around the table, etc.  These elections are about our ability to live in Armenia. All other  meanings are secondary. Can we make this simple "What's the deal? We  can do it," the political scientist is confident.
