Decisions regarding the people of Artsakh are made without discussion with the people of Artsakh, the RA government acts in disregard of the principle of participation in these matters. All important decisions were made that way. Organizing an event where the employees of the regional administrations and extended communities of Artsakh will thank the government and municipal authorities with paper and without paper is a method that has not been used since the Brezhnev period.
It is not necessary to return to the revolutionary period, it is better to work with the figures representing the people of Artsakh, to ensure participation, to make the existing programs more effective, to develop new ones. Heads of Artsakh communities, heads of regions can act as such representatives, they maintain ties with their population, are well aware of problems, and can offer effective solutions.
We see that the RA government avoids communicating with the political-state circles of Artsakh, in this case the best institution is the representatives of the local self-government and territorial administration bodies of Artsakh, which were not politicized.
