    The Next Armenian Revolution


    2012 is the year of Dragon which usually is a year of revolutions in
    Armenia. There was a revolution in Armenia in 1988 - the Armenian
    nation stood up in a spiritual and political uprising. The energy of
    this uprising was so big that Armenia became independent, the Armenian
    nation won the war resisting challenges and trials inside and outside
    the country.

    But the anti-revolution quickly won in Armenia in terms of qualities
    and activities of the regime of that period, and a
    military-feudalistic regime, a symbiosis of soldiers and officials was
    established in the country.

    The next Dragon's year was 2000, the year of the next revolution in
    Armenia. In the result of internecine scramble, the
    military-feudalistic system collapsed, and a system called
    `criminal-oligarchic' was formed instead.

    This system was stronger and more `advanced' than the previous one, so
    it won. Why advanced? Because unlike its predecessor it was based on
    the `law'. If under the military-feudalistic regime, the perceptions
    of a couple of people were imposed on the society, under the
    criminal-oligarchic system, the relations were based on the `law' of
    systemic agreements to divide the country into quotas and `zones'. The
    arbitrary definitions and perceptions of `good and evil' were
    substituted by clear and tough rules of the game.

    So, the Armenian society started adapting to the reality of living and
    building relations on the basis of certain laws rather than
    perceptions. This was something new to the Armenian society, because
    our so-called political history, as much as we know, is a history of
    perceptions which have nothing to do with the reality.

    In this sense, the criminal-oligarchic system was very important for
    the Armenian people because getting adapted to the mechanism of living
    on the `laws' of this system, it could pass to the establishment of
    the state law.

    Observing the experience of Western nations, we can see the evolution
    of feudalistic systems into a criminal, and afterwards constitutional
    systems. Almost all the nations have gone through this which, for
    different reasons, lost the axis of internal existence, the moral
    norms and the rules of internal relations.

    2012 is the next Dragon's year. The criminal-oligarchic system has
    cracked now not because of internecine disagreement, as it is
    believed, but due to the logic of internal and external objective
    developments. In parallel to this, the legal and constitutional
    awareness and civil values are gradually being established in Armenia,
    the vivid proof of which is the active, literate and effective civil
    initiatives. The former system will not withdraw unless a new system
    of a different quality is formed. The Armenian society is on its way
    of creating the new system.

    In this sense, 2012 will be a revolutionary year. It is true that the
    path of the new Armenian revolution will be hard because the entire
    anti-revolutionary resource, the coalition and the opposition, the
    political and economic `elite', are a giant obstacle. But their time
    has passed because the legal and constitutional awareness is something
    that can't be defeated.

    Long live the new Armenian revolution!
