Its was Iran who lost to Russia not we. On the other hand, the opposition, claiming that autorities betrayed Armenia for money etc., not only leave these people without important backing of people, but also lower overall morale in the society. Such behaviour is a short sighted and would turn against them if they happen to come to the power. Let's really back our government in its undertakings. In fact the situaion is not that bad. We can always get back energy stations, factories, etc. Yet it would be difficult, if possible, to return people believes in the government and in the nation. The dialogue with the government was lost because of years of poor quality, rumor level accusations in robbery, betrayal, dictatorship, electoral falsifications. A real constructive debate should be clean from such populistic talks. We do have political history and should have been learnt that. The key to attaining this are we - the audience, the people. Don't back ճոռո ճոռո speakers. You are right - our government has little choice to act. Its was Iran who lost to Russia not we.
