In previous sections, we were consistently conveying the thought, like a red or I don’t know what color of thread, that the present and especially the future of Armenia belongs to political parties and party members, and it is more than obscure and incomprehensible for many of us why some people with political inclinations and aspirations are establishing not parties in Armenia rather than non-governmental organizations. It is more than clear that most of them, sooner or later, would transform into a political party and represent political ambitions by participating in various types and levels of rural, urban, and political elections.
Civil movements that popped up and quite generated last year, mostly in participation of young people, are more understandable and comprehensible. The year 2013 showed that in many cases the citizens and still their unnamed unions are often more active and efficient than the parties and the party members. It is more convincingly demonstrated last summer, when the increase in public transport was prevented due to the efforts of partisan activists and especially the young activists. Similarly with regard to the issue of pensions, for our young citizens more active than the parties and party members, as well as with regard to the Customs Union and the “ARG” matters. And I’m sure they will be still active with regard to upcoming issues in the future, because these civic and non-partisan processes are to be continued and irreversible, and being a non-partisan they are not non-partisan. And I’m sure there will be new developments and new formations in the coming years, and in the coming year our formed youth are more likely to serve as an example for seniors and the elderly. Despite there has been and still are various and contradictory interpretations about civic activities and actions of the youth, nevertheless, they, as you can see, are not the ones to get into despair and disappointed from any negative comments. And if attempts are made to increase the price of transport or anything else, once again we would rely on them, and not on us or the parties. And, if their fight is some way out and means for us, it is a mean of life and living for them. And, they personally have found this very form of living for them and for us. And, if before the history of their fight, the citizen of Armenia did not have any form or method of living, now, we can say that it already has. And if the authorities, the opposition and all of us instead of getting involved in attaching names rather than demonstrating quite constructive attitude toward those fighting and especially the fight of the youth in fight, and the result would be quite prominent and visible, moreover, for the government, the opposition and all of us.
As for the civilian fighter, in person, many of them, I think, do not have personal expectations from their initiated fight. And, if they do, this expectation and vision is the safety and security of our state and independence of our Republic, independence, about which we are all talking during the holidays, and forget during the rest of the days of the year.
