Hovik Afyan
Translated by Vartan Matiossian
Perhaps what was born in Armenia on July 25 has to be called civil society. In any case, this new Armenian phenomenon has all the qualities necessary to be called civil society. First, it is not class-driven, because the driver of the valuable foreign car stopped by the young man who could only dream of that car; second, it is not political, because, although certain politicians appeared in the ranks of the movement, nobody listened to them, and they did not say anything. And, which is no less important, this movement is concrete and clear in the question of issue and purpose: it perfectly know what it wants and from whom.
