New Revelations from NSS and SI: An Unexpected Dossier Prepared
“While the election campaign is literally tearing apart Artsakh and the army, many internal issues in Armenia remain outside the discussion scope. In meetings with citizens from various regions, their issues should be clearly addressed, as well as the development plans for the coming years; however, the election campaign is completely within a different logic.
This agenda is dictated by the ruling power and is consistently promoted, with only one force participating: the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), representing the former authorities. The other political forces participating in the elections and the society are in the role of observers.
The RPA and ‘My Step’ are in the competition arena, clashing with each other, from which society gains no benefit. Moreover, the more knowledgeable segment demands ideas and visions, feeling disappointed. No one knows how the government will change their lives in the coming 5 years. Instead, they hear that representatives of the Artsakh government will be thrown out, held by the collars of village heads, and that they will be spread on the asphalt for a long time...
However, this is not the only lever that the ruling power will use for the election campaign. According to our information, in the final days of the campaign, governmental mechanisms will be activated again, and the NSS will once again enter the game. An unexpected dossier has been prepared, featuring revelations from the NSS and the Special Investigative Service. They will try to show the public how many former officials they have ‘laid on the asphalt’ and what great revelations they have made. So, do not hope for substantive discussions,” writes ‘Irates’ newspaper.
