The current Prime Minister claims that if the first guarantee of our national security is the army, then it means that we have no security system, and before that he said that the pillars planted in Kiran are our security guarantee, considering that it is a border, which recognizes both Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Political scientist Stepan Danielyan wrote about this on his page. In particular, he noted:
"Let's put aside the fact that in the conditions of the current world order, or rather in the conditions of the collapse of the world order, any border pillar is not a guarantee. Those pillars did not save today's Lebanon, they did not save Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and many other countries from "democratic", "communist", "Zionist" aggressions. Let's put aside the fact that Azerbaijan declared Armenia West Azerbaijan and the border posts cannot serve as a guarantee of security. Let's discuss the current prime minister's thesis from a different angle, why he does not want to have an army, for example, which, along with other security systems, is one of the most important. The army means to have an officer corps, acting on the ideas of officer honor and patriotism, to have an educational system where patriotism and the value system necessary for it are brought up, to have a military-industrial system, to have free-thinking and dignified citizens, to have an effective and organized diaspora, the formation of which the state plays a big role, a network structure like the Church, which the state should support.
The list can be listed for a long time, however, there is a key issue here, a decent officer, a teacher, a citizen, a scientist, an active member of the Diaspora, an effective church will not tolerate the current prime minister and his team. A working security system, with all its components, and this government are incompatible phenomena.
Only the current weak, undignified, external threat-fearing society will vote for the current regime. Our weakness is the only vital support of that regime, therefore, the idea of the magical power of the border pillar can maintain the power of the existing government.
