Has the process of the current authorities becoming arrogant and cut off from reality begun? Is it open to suggestions and discussions from all layers of society? There is, in any case, an issue here. Neutralizing criticism in politics is rather “easy” nowadays. When the head of the opposition in parliament, Gagik Tsarukyan, says that the social situation of the majority of Armenian citizens has remained the same over the past two years (which, I believe, is true), the response is, “But when you were in jail for rape…” When the Dashnaks criticize the current standards for education (of course, it is possible to not agree with that criticism), the argument is, “But when your political party betrayed Andranik Ozanian in 1920…” Of course, this is a political fight and the arguments used to “destroy” one another may be different. But the issue is that these authorities, as all the authorities in the past, do not want to listen to advice and suggestions coming from people and political parties that do not hold a majority. They have an immature mindset of “who are these people?”
