Analyst: Armenian people facing ‘crisis of values’

Panorama
Armenia –

Political analyst Stepan Danielyan says Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan will step up crackdown on dissidents in an effort to maintain his grip on power.

“Nikol has to resort to repression which will further intensify in the future because he has no other choice. It’s a matter of life and death for him; if he loses power he will lose everything else, while he has no other tool to maintain his grip on power,” he wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

“We have no civil society, human rights activists and the like. This bubble burst long ago, let's make it clear too.

“The situation in which the Armenian people have now found themselves is not about politics, but a crisis of values, and it can be settled through a social movement which must bring about a change of values framing them in advance,” he said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
