Will anyone deny that the majority of our population lives in poverty and is swimming in debt? There are semi-deserted villages whose residents do not know what to do with their lives, and as soon as they see a government official or anyone from the city, they start to complain. We still have thousands of unemployed men who can only think about leaving the country to work. These are not complaints, but simple facts. Now I will try to present some of the counter-arguments that are used with those facts.
- No, the situation is not the same. There has been recorded growth, a growth in salaries, a decrease in unemployment in poverty, and international agencies have increased their ratings for Armenia.
- What did we expect to happen in two years?
- Everything was going well until the coronavirus spread.
- Until there is transitional justice and lustration, until all the former authorities are punished, and until the seizure of the state is recorded, nothing will change.
