“In order to implement a change of power, the people must be ready for it. These elections showed that it is not ready at this moment. It seemed that these years had taught people something, but we saw that it was not, they are still waiting for something.” 168.amsaid in a conversation with writer, public speaker Bakur Karapetyan՝ talking about the national elections held in Armenia, its consequences and the prerequisites for a possible change of power in Armenia.

He says that 2000 years ago, the Armenian nation should have conquered the whole of Asia Minor, but, unfortunately, it could not, probably they were not united again, they only thought about the inter-ethnic struggle. They did not have a common goal and ideology, that is, they were in the same situation as they are today.

“With today’s situation, can we be a nation-state, can we do this, maybe not at this moment. The basis of having all this is the brain, knowledge, but today we are not able to appreciate the mind, we are pushing smart people back, I am also talking about the intelligentsia, which has automatically been pushed back from the front line, while in this situation it should not have been like that. Intellectualism should create a movement, raise the people, spread ideas.

Although everything is very difficult, I am sure that everything is not lost, there are more opportunities at this moment. If in the past they conquered the world with a single bow and arrow, today they can conquer it with their brains, so it would be good if strong individuals, intellectuals, were in the “frontline”. The globalists managed to create a “Kajnazarian” government in Armenia, this is a terrible phenomenon for us, which we cannot deal with.” 168.am–Bakur Karapetyan said in a conversation with

According to him, those people who help this government stay in power “don’t care about Armenia, they don’t know what fate awaits the country tomorrow”, only the Armenian nation should think about it.

“It is not necessary that Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharian are in power, but they can lead people, I have nothing against them, of course, I respect them as former presidents. They can lead knowledgeable people forward and help with their experience and resources,” Bakur Karapetyan emphasized.

He also said that the Armenian nation can feel its strength when it becomes united, which is needed at this moment.

“Do you think that today our enemy wants us to unite, of course, he doesn’t, he has seen what we are capable of in case of that unification, that’s why they are doing everything. Even today, our enemy’s allies are doing everything to prevent this unification from happening. We represent a huge force, why don’t we use it, let everyone ask themselves this question. When we are strong, the stranger will respect us, instead of standing up and demanding respect from the stranger.

If foreign forces can put their own person in charge of our country, this is not their problem, but our problem, we have to solve these problems, a foreigner will not come to solve our problems. Beyond this, there is no other shocking phenomenon, if we don’t save our country, then the issue of Armenia ends, that’s it,” emphasized Bakur Karapetyan.
