A perspective from Paris: Armenia from the point of view of Diaspora, according to political analyst Gaidz Minassian

How are Armenia's political processes considered in Diaspora? French-Armenian political analyst Gaidz Minassian notes that moods and sensations are controversial. “There are both positive and negative signs. And this is normal,” he says.

According to Minasyan, concern over foreign policy is whether Armenia, as an independent state, has all the levers to become a fully sovereign state. “And with respect to the domestic policy, the concern is how to create an atmosphere of trust between the authorities and society? Here are the anxieties existing both in Armenia and in the Diaspora,” Minassian stresses.

Drawing parallels between the political systems of European countries and Armenia, Gaidz Minassian, first of all, emphasizes that every state and society has its own history, and it is difficult to compare Western Europe with Armenia. “Armenia is learning democracy; this experience will gradually increase. But with the last amendment to the Constitution, unfortunately, a democratic voting has been dropped. To me, it is wrong,” he says.
