If you can intrude into the Parliament with roses in your hands, whose deputies are elected by fabrications, then you are a “rose revolutionary”.
But if you are stopped at the entrance of Parliament by the police and “are detained” to the police station, then you’re an ordinary lawbreaker. If you’re driving the bulldozers towards the presidency and entering into the building and the president is running away, then you are a “bulldozer revolutionary”. And if the president is not running away, then you are an organizer of mass riots. Everything depends on what results you achieve with your actions.
The Soviet poet Samuel Marshak has epigrams consisting of two lines, which says that a riot can not be completed successfully, otherwise it would called otherwise.
“Riot” contains something negative but, in original, the English poet of the 17th century John Harington uses a worse word in his verses, a treason, which is closer to the state treachery. Do you see what a diversity of terms?

Or, let’s take the “putsch”. If, on August 1991, the Communists retrograde clan could defeat the Communists progressive clan, would the action be called a “putsch”? Of course, not, it would be called “restoration of the parliamentary constitutional order.” Which does Putin without any “putsch”, formally acting as as Yeltsin’s successor.
Of course, no putschist and anti-putschist, no revolutionary or counter-revolutionary, no rebel or anti-rebel, no mutineer or anti-mutineer says, “I want this way or I want that way.” No, they say, “people want this or that.” Therefore, the representatives of clans of all countries and times:
a / know what the people want.
b / are sure of what the people want is correct and useful.
In short, all are Aharon Adibekyan, even more.
I, naturally, am not so clairvoyant. Personally, I know what I want or do not want. I do not want Armenia enter into the composition of Russia (or any other country) in any way, I do not want any other language, except Armenia, obtain the status of state language, I do not want our regime to be like Putin’s or, moreover, Lukashenko’s regimes. However, I’m not sure that the majority of Armenians agrees with me. Moreover, I am not sure that my fellow citizens are not particularly worried about these problems.
And, most importantly, I do not want to see someone’s nose bleeding for the sake of any revolutionary or counter-revolutionary idea. Not only in Armenia, but also in Ukraine, even in Azerbaijan and Turkey.
