CEO of “Antares”, Armen Martirosyan, believes that the capitalist Armenia built in the 90s has turned into an autonomous feudal state, and today’s ruling elite are the feudalists. In the interview with Aravot, CEO of “Antares”, Armen Martirosyan, noted that they are the authors of around 40 posters in Baghramyan Avenue together with “Backbone Branding” company. He said, “We are professionals and we understand that the posters should be influential and help the fight, but, on the other hand, not to shake the foundations of the state.”
Armen Martirosyan also noted that with the help of the posters it was possible to stop the Russian media aggression. “I thought that the posters addressed to Россия 24 were perhaps vulgar, but then the life showed that probably this was the right way to respond, because only in this case it could shut down its voice.”
To the question of “Aravot” about what he thinks about this movement, Armen Martirosyan replied, “This is a political process, no matter how they try to conceal it making it social and economic. Paryur Hayrikyan seemed to have answered this question that if this were not a political, then they would have solved the problem with the electrician. No matter how the government tries to invest its leverages there, no matter how it tries to put his people there who allegedly are not from the government, allegedly they are only representatives of civil society, although we see that as soon as they start fighting, afterward they begin buying good apartments, and we know who can pay money for an apartment in Armenia, it is all the same, none of their agents will help them, these agents will grow into an opposition thinking people, they will understand that one way or another the future is with the new one and they will pass to the side of this new one.”

Mr. Martirosyan also noted that the capitalist Armenia built in the 90s has turned into an autonomous feudal state, and today the ruling elite are the feudalists. “And the old one, the feudal, like in any capitalist country, died, disappeared or abased, and became smaller, the same is expected to Armenia. The capital should be free and the rules should be liberal, said Mr. Martirosyan, added, “And the guys who say, we will change the government from inside, certainly we do not agree with the terrible occurrences that Serzh Sargsyan and his team are causing to Armenia, we are true patriots, but on the other hand, we try to regulate it from inside the government and so on … People, you who entered into that sphere, that water, then you will be soaked: this is going to be the fight of soaked and non-soaked. Like the police after the water cannon are coming to check who is soaked, they were beating him or detaining, they were watching, if you are soaked, then you are a protester, if not, you are not a protester, tomorrow, you will bear this responsibility, each of you have your share in demolishing Armenia, you are destroying Armenia or participate in its destroy driver by your lofty aim. It is not always that the goal justifies the instruments. You are currently working with poor instruments, no matter what goals you pursue, I do not care, you file and carve Armenian with your instruments. If you got it, that’s good, if not, the youth who had come out to Baghramyan Avenue, tomorrow, they will not feel constraint with only pro-social slogans as the political idea underlies them.”
