Authorities also benefit from the current situation - political technologist (video)
From the very beginning the gunmen had a strategic plan to turn the uprising into a coup attempt, Vigen Hakobyan, an analyst and political technologist, said on Monday. He says the members of the Sasna Dzrer armed group intended to create ‘a hearth of tensions’ with all actions taking around it. Organizational structures were to be set up in parallel which would coordinate the actions outside the seized police compound. “The gunmen relied on the immense mass of protesters that exists in Armenia and increased even more after the April war in Karabakh,” the expert in political technologies said adding that the Karabakh issue is the main reason for the actions of the armed group and their demands. “Vitaly Balasanyan openly said in his speech yesterday that Jirayr Sefilyan is more interested in the talks over the problems of national importance. He made it clear that if the gunmen put down their guns, negotiations will start with Sefilyan on these issues,” Vigen Hakobyan said. The expert says the authorities also benefit from the current situation, but ‘in issues concerning the foreign policy.’
