Non-coalition forces loyal to ‘false gods’ – Anush Sedrakyan

Vice-Chairperson of the Free Democrats party Anush Sedrakyan believes
that the non-coalition forces have pledged their loyalty to “false
gods.”

“That is, the gods that are gradually losing their might and power. I
mean that it is strong currencies and powerful technologies that are
decisive in the 21st century. This is the trend of the 21st century,
and it cannot be helped. You have to drift with the stream because
going against it means drowning,” Ms Sedrakyan told Tert.am.

As regards vocal movements, she said that a nationwide upswing
requires a national idea.

“In 1988, Artsakh was the idea. For Ukrainians it is being part of
Europe. Armenia has not yet such a uniting idea, and when we see
resistance to the regime, to the authorities, they are not actually
the ideas that could unite the public at large,” she said.

According to Ms Sedrakyan, Armenia is moving toward a critical
economic situation, which could cause the public to unite.

“I think riots should be expected in Armenia because economic problems
are accompanying the border tension. Both economic instability and
insecurity may cause a social crisis. It can be expected during next
three or four months. But I expect larger-scale geopolitical changes,
and I think our authorities are well aware of what is going on.”
