ArmInfo.One of the most important challenges for the government of Armenia will be a change in the self-consciousness of the people. On February 14, President of  the Parliament Ararat Mirzoyan stated this from the rostrum of the  National Assembly of Armenia.

According to him, either the people continue to live in a feudal  state, or take the path of development, there is no third option. A  thousand years ago, Armenia lost its statehood, and throughout this  period of time, one thought prevailed in the creation of a people -  my house and my land plot. "Taxation, the army, wars, management  systems, etc. – everything was not ours, only the house and the land  remained.  Unfortunately, this thought continues to prevail today,"  the President of parliament stated. He noted that with independence  at the beginning of the last century, the goal was not achieved.  Three wars, the maintenance of internal order did not allow to  achieve the desired result; it was impossible to do this even during  the Soviet period. Under the conditions of the third republic,  continued Ararat Mirzoyan, the country also faced a number of  problems – war, crises did not allow to realize his plans. "We won  the war, but we could not overcome the citizens' self-consciousness,  "the Speaker said, adding that later the country generally moved to  the level of a feudal state, in which the central government had to  agree to repair the valve. Only in exceptional cases, it was possible  to achieve victories, and this happened when the people united – the  Artsakh war, the velvet revolution.

Ararat Mirzoyan stressed that the government's program can be  implemented only if the citizen's identity changes, who must realize  the importance of a check requirement when making purchases, the  importance of paying taxes, the importance of observing laws. And  only then, as the speaker noted, four reservoirs will be built, other  objects, pensions and wages will rise.
