Two days ago, Khachik Harutunyan’s article titled “About the 7+3 reasons for the failed revolution” was published in “Aravot”.
Typically, we don’t delve into discussions about articles at the level of arguments or logic. Instead, people often react emotionally after seeing the headline based on their support for either Pashinyan or Archbishop Bagrat. Those with opposition views may object: “who said that the revolution (it’s about the “Tavush for the Motherland” movement, which is led by Bagrat Srbazan ) did not succeed, maybe it will succeed very well?”
Rather than making predictions akin to reading tea leaves, I’d prefer to focus on the shortcomings of the movement as highlighted by the author.
The main ones are 7, as suggested by the title.

Let me formulate them in simplified language.
1/ The involvement of “formers” or their declarations of support., 2/ they do not curse Russia. 3/ they don’t promise a meritocracy, 4/Lack of a clear concept for socio-economic reforms 5/ Absence of a pledge to combat corruption. 6/ They neglect to discuss societal vices, 7/ The Mother See does not acknowledge its passivity in previous years.
Each consideration holds some truth to varying degrees. It’s just that they are from “different operas”. For example, stoning the Russian Federation is correct from the point of view of political technology: it flatters the ears of the people. But, if they aim to take the power and lead the state, such rhetoric may cause problems in the future.
Conceptual frameworks don’t emerge overnight during rallies; they require the foundation of a political party.
The vices of the society and the repentance of the church are issues of value, which, yes, should be raised.
I concur with the article’s conclusion that “the political soil of Armenia is already fertile for the birth of new players, and the final sentence on the page of the past-present dilemma is being written.”
Although today, alongside the ‘fakers’ and propagandists, there are still naive individuals who sincerely believe that this government is fighting against ‘former robbers,’ I doubt this narrative will endure for another two years.”
