Is the fate of the country discussed within and with the country?
Aliyev says that the version of the “peace treaty” was presented to Armenia on September 11. The centers of the world insist on sealing it as soon as possible.
Who did Nikol discuss it with? Presumably, as an important historical and state document, it should be discussed.
– With all parliamentary forces, including the opposition. Did something like that happen or not?
– With experienced diplomats who know well the essence of the conflict, the history of negotiations, the tendency of mediators.
– Outside the National Assembly, with various groups of politicians, public figures, and experts who have the appropriate literacy and decency not to enter into a deal in matters related to the fate of the country.
– Was it discussed with the former presidents?
– With serious specialists of international law in Armenia and Diaspora. We have such specialists. Was it discussed with them?
In the end, with whom does Nikol discuss and make decisions regarding the fate of an entire nation and state? What is this exclusive right that he and we have given him?
The other side of the issue
And who is interested in all this: the contract, the state… Do students, regardless of major, when they enter the classroom, tell their professors: let’s put the subject aside, we have been offered a contract from September 11, are we in favor or not in favor, let’s discuss. Do the lecturers ask them the same question? Are the scientific and academic circles gathering within themselves on this issue, is there a discussion?
Colleges and universities, which are considered centers of thought, progress and resistance all over the world, are sitting silently. If you are not in this issue, then in what issue are you? What kind of atmosphere is there?
Creative unions, cultural centers. who needs them if they are silent as fish and always ignored? Does big capital, medium business, the so-called business elite, have a point of view?
The mission of the national alarm was taken over by the church and the institute of individuals. But that is clearly not enough.
Azerbaijan records all this, Turkey records it, the international community records it. everyone records our historical indifference.
The failed role of the opposition
The most important deep work, the mission of the opposition was to change the atmosphere in the country. All the shocks, all the force majeure happened in the country, but the opposition could not change the atmosphere.
He could not or did not want to. I don’t know anymore. It was not an insoluble problem to change the atmosphere of widespread indifference and resignation. It had to be done by changing one’s own behavior, and not by continuing to “work” quietly and uncommunicated before, during and after all the disasters.
And now we have a government for itself, a parliamentary opposition for itself, a society for itself, a contract for itself and a threatened future for itself.
There are different outputs
This abnormal situation, when there is a real opponent and real risks and an Armenia out of touch with reality, can very quickly lead to early elections. This is one of the ways out, I don’t know if it’s the best or not, but the “truth about nothing” can’t last long. About the special elections and other possible developments, next.
