    New Armenian Alphabet

    After Serzh Sargsyan had visited Mashtots Park and announced that
    the boutiques must be removed from the park, interestingly a campaign
    started against the citizens fighting for saving the park on Mashtots
    Avenue. Amazingly, the campaign was begun by other citizens and most
    of them had even attended the actions in Mashtots Park. It was not
    the government.

    The red line running through criticism in social networks is that
    activists of Mashtots Park had stated reluctant to politicize their
    struggle while Serzh Sargsyan came to earn some political dividends
    before the election.

    Let's leave Serzh Sargsyan and his dividends alone. What dividends do
    the citizens win the goal of whose social network and other activities
    is to detect a "pro-government project" in Mashtots Park?

    Obviously, struggle in the park is a serious challenge for all
    the form and content of political struggle that has ever existed in
    Armenia. Earlier, political struggle has never achieved any significant
    milestone. So far the political struggle has been able to eliminate
    the consequence of its failures, presenting them as results.

    The "old" political movements of Armenia have not achieved any other
    major goal so far and will not achieve in future either, evidence
    to which is their efforts to justify their futile initiatives rather
    than to find a way out of the deadlock together with their sheer army
    of supporters.

    This logic will certainly view Mashots Park as a "pro-government
    project" because the park was effective even from the point of view
    of refusal to dismantle the boutiques. A new style of civic struggle
    was born and developed in the park, the style of the self-determined
    citizen which personally solves its problems instead of seeking for
    political "politburos" to address them.

    After all, it is obvious that the efficiency of this young style is
    not less than the efficiency of the so-called traditional political
    stylistics.

    The targets are not so big. They are only boutiques, and the history
    of battles against the police is not long. The statistics of other
    styles is bigger and richer. So what? What about the efficiency of
    other styles?

    As to the theory of "pro-government project", there is almost no
    difference from the theory of "global conspiracy" the followers of
    which are the Armenian government and the so-called political class.

    And it should be noted that the government is not alone with this
    mindset and has inspired a great part of the society that there
    cannot be small or big success outside the "conspiracy theories"
    and the world goes round the "universal conspiracy".

    The government explains any alternative by the theory of "global
    conspiracy" and considers the issue closed and has inspired a greater
    part of the society with the theory of "government conspiracy" which
    states: "If you are not with us, and you defy our leadership and our
    truth but you are something without us, something is definitely wrong."

    This is the consciousness. It is not accidental that in the struggle
    with a shared pole of consciousness and mind the government always won
    the struggle against it carried out in the style of the traditional
    Armenian political movement because of two similarly thinking subjects
    the one will win who has more material and violent resource.

    Mashtots Park is a litmus paper for everyone. As to the destiny of
    the boutiques, now it is a secondary issue whether Serzh Sargsyan
    will have the boutiques dismantled or Serzh Sargsyan will vow but will
    not change anything. Everything is secondary for this piece of litmus
    paper. The important thing for this litmus paper is the cleanness which
    enables writing on it a new page of the struggle for reform in Armenia.

    Armenia is suffering a crisis of old pages, and perhaps even old
    language and old alphabet. And perhaps it is not accidental that this
    litmus paper is in Mashtots Park where the new alphabet of struggle is
    being created which must go through time and space, undergo phonetic
    changes, grammatical corrections until it becomes a new language of
    practical united struggle that will be easily understood by citizens.

    It is important that this new alphabet belongs to everyone, independent
    from the constitution of struggle, space and time, and does not become
    the property or monopoly of any "politburo".
