ArmInfo. There are no expectations of changes from the oligarch president in Artsakh. I don't think that today someone in Artsakh has any expectations from Arayik Harutyunyan. Director of the Armenian Center for National and Strategic Studies Manvel Sargsyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
<In any case, a slight revitalization of the situation as a result of the recent elections will still have an impact on political life in the future. A lot of people have already realized the impossibility of returning to the past, while others associate hopes for the future with the advent of new people, new political forces. Otherwise, stagnation is inevitable – people realized the futility of expectations from the new government and, accordingly, no one expects changes from Harutyunyan in the economic field, moreover in the political one," he said. According to Sargsyan, the expectations of most of the people of Artsakh did not materialize, which does not allow us to talk about their indifference to the current situation. And this majority, in his opinion, does not expect significant changes from the new parliament and government in comparison with the rigorous power regime of government established in Artsakh since 1992. According to the analyst, this is what prompts the people of Artsakh to become more interested in the future development of the political situation, the ability of Arayik Harutyunyan to change something. Sargsyan describes the existing climate as oligarchic, on the basis of which a power structure continues to operate in Artsakh today, backed up by many people involved in politics in the recent elections.
<There is no organized opposition force in Artsakh today. There are individual opposition masses who are creating significant problems for the new government. In this light, the new government is simply obligated to implement certain, real changes. One can also clearly predict the creation of a new opposition force or forces in Artsakh - new people already appear and will appear in the future> Sargsyan summed up. 4
