Vahe Davtyan, doctor of political sciences, professor, energy security specialist, writes: “It is interesting: when will the Armenian opposition finally leave the boundaries of the narratives created by the CP?”

Criticism is undoubtedly necessary. However, remaining within the framework of the previously given agenda, it inevitably reproduces the authors of that agenda. Without its own independent Project, such criticism turns into a form of political reproduction of the authorities. It does not destroy the dominant discourse, but only ensures its continuous circulation.

In this sense, the opposition is increasingly resembling a significant part of the expert community of the post-Soviet area, endlessly interpreting events and statements without integrating them into a single worldview.

The problem, therefore, is not the lack of facts or arguments, but the inability to go beyond the meta-level of analysis. In this case, the meta-level of politics, where not reactions, but meanings and directions are formed.

The consequence of this is the gradual erosion of the political process. Politics is reduced to the level of everyday, almost domestic debate, losing its strategic dimension and ability to project the future.
