Independence is an important historical achievement both for the
Armenian state and for the Armenian people, but in the 23 years since
the date of the declaration of the sovereignty of Armenia the country
still hasn't coped with the challenges that it faced at the beginning
of the 90s. Such an opinion was expressed by political scientists
Richard Kirakosyan and Alexander Eskandaryan in conversation with
correspondents of "Vestnik Kavkaza".
The director of the Center for Regional Research, Richard Kirakosyan,
pointed out that independent life is still hard for Armenia. "The
problems of the country are not in civil society, and not even just
in the external threat from the frozen Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
and the closed borders, but in the internal problems caused by the
revelry of corruption and the "facade of democracy".
>From the point of view of Richard Kirakosyan, this "root of all
evil" is not hidden in the behavior of certain politicians, but in
the political system created in Armenia during these years.
Kirakosyan called for the emphasis of the work of the power structures
to shift from the political to the economic, as the key to achieving
the real independence of Armenia is lies in this.
The director of the Institute of the Caucasus, Alexander Eskandarian,
in turn, noted that preservation of sovereign status in these years
was the main achievement of Armenia.
He drew attention to that fact that the economic problems which have
engulfed Armenia in recent years are a reality not only for the state,
but also for ordinary citizens.
