ArmInfo.The goal of the political forces that have taken to the streets is far from the security of Artsakh, not the creation and implementation of a new domestic and foreign policy agenda and concept.
These people, having taken to the streets under old and boring slogans, seek to shake the foundations of the current government in Armenia in order to weaken its position in working with Western partners, including around the Artsakh problem. Sociologist Karen Sargsyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
According to the sociologist's forecasts, everything that happens today on the streets of Yerevan will inevitably be used against Pashinyan in his negotiations with Russian President Putin in the future in order to wrest concessions from Armenia on the same issue of Artsakh. In other words, the connection between internal Armenian politics and geopolitics, in his opinion, is evident today.
The analyst believes that despite the many questions and dissatisfaction with the current government, it is due to this government that the civilized world has not turned its back on Armenia. And it will be so as long as this government remains and is not replaced by forces whose main mission is to serve specific foreign interests," he stressed.
According to Sargsyan, the leaders of today's protest are using a symbiosis of technologies, on the basis of which Pashinyan himself came to power in 2018, and technologies with geopolitical "overtones", for example, in the form of posters with Mevlut Cavusoglu grinning and demonstrating the gesture of the "Grey Wolves" to the Armenians. Thus, trying to ride the wave of protest under the brand "no peace with the Turks thirsting for our blood." "And this is against the background of the fact that similar discontent reigns in Turkey and Azerbaijan, which can be beneficial only to one country," the sociologist believes.
