The parliamentary elections were immediately followed by military
clashes with Azerbaijan. In fact, the war is moving out of the zone
of the Karabakh conflict, and what was expected is happening.
Now it is understood what a key problem Armenia is facing, and what
problem it was necessary to discuss during the election campaign.
Unfortunately, no political party and no actual politician undertook
attempts and intended to discuss this problem. This circumstance was
quite dishonest and indicated what was considered as the ultimate
form of populism which borders with treason.
The meaning of this discussion is not only identification of political
conditions and factors of a new war but also preparation of the public
at large for a war on which the results mostly depend. The political
parties appeared as groups of conjuncture who are not concerned about
the independence of the country.
It is clear that the society's moods are such that any attempt to
discuss the perspectives of war would lead to total defeat of the
political parties in the elections. Meanwhile, a political party
differs from plebs by its vocation of considering and initiating
discussions on different issues. In 1988-1990 the "political leaders"
of the nation rejected the possibility of war, were engaged in
inappropriate propaganda of "democratic settlement" by way of which
they won over the masses.
Not only did they refrain from discussing the problems of the imminent
war in the late 80s but also they ignored the necessity to prepare
the economy of the country for war time operation though at that time
there were great opportunities for preparing for a war.
At the same time, amazing is the cowardice of the Armenian analysts
and political scientists who proudly sign with these epithets. The
mass media behave similarly. Instead of a constructive and honest
discussion they offer a miserable statement of facts or nothing at all.
Now it is too late to make political efforts, we have stepped on
the war track and we have what we have. It is necessary to prepare
the Armenian people for a tough war, this time the opponent must be
annihilated not only in the military way. Will again soldiers be the
only makers of destiny of the country?
