Thanks for the in-depth and realistic analysis. I have just one comment regarding the political change you argue about. On the one hand, you admit that the economy is doing well, progress in many areas of the economy shows prospects of growth, money collection and absence of economies are pretty good, military reforms are slow but taking place, etc.. But before that, you talk about how much the country needs a change of government and, hopefully, the introduction of a new party. You also speak about the incompetency of the current government. It's all right, and I agree with that. However, do you realize that a new party filling the niche or even the vacuum in the opposition camp is not enough to form a government, even if they are successful in the political field? They will need a cabinet filled with professional, competent people. And that's where the problem is. I don't see enough ready, honest, and willing people to fill that void. Do you? Are there any good candidates for the economy minister, foreign minister, local government or environmental minister, or deputy ministers who are more competent and experienced than the current government already employs? You should address that for the completeness of your analysis.
Eric discounting the remittance contribution from Armenian workers to their families and Armenians in the diaspora purchasing real estate coupled with tourism contributes to sustaining the %5 growth. The IT business is only started 10 years ago.
There has been one business leader who ventured into politics and look wha it brought to Ruben Vardanyan, a probable lifetime jail with no one trying to rescue him except family and close friends.
Without longer form debate-style video conversations there's too little value in these soft magazine style chats. Useful data points, opinion and alerts for prioritisation are shared. But the format of softball Q&A churns out commentary lacking edge. I do not see any shareability or distributability of these chats with a few exceptions once or a bit more a year. More concerning to me is a lack of more thorough working through of assumptions or significant positions taken. As a fan, I am concerned at Hacopian's pro-West and anti-Russian leanings involve no examination of pros and cons or middle grounds. My concern is there is once again no supporting, worked through evidence. A longer video chat time and involving different people asking questions and debating would be helpful for the audience. Currently I come away both doubtful and unconvinced about what is said oh so briefly. Hacopian also remains soft touch in my view on Pashinyan (whose ego is on display weekly in his childish Facebook self-promo fixation videos), though clearly no fan of his.
We are done with current party. We need new parties with fresh start and competent leader who will fight for Armenia and Artsakh and won't give in to aliyevs threats and bullies.
Explain please, how can a competent opposition fight or what can they do better? Russia sold out Armenia and Artzakh If Georgia is blocking Armenia in favor of Russia, Turkey and Ali? Iran will be in a war or same situation like Syria?
Not giving current government any credit and purely criticizing for sake of it is becoming ridiculous. Some of us expecting more from this channel and panel.
We already have a 3rd alternative competent and reformist party. They are called AJB. The Talent and national will does exist It would be a lie to say it doesn't exist. The Talent and national will does exist.It just hasn't been elected into parliament due to corruption.
It is amazing to me that such a progressive program keeps talking about the previous regimes as the opposition and not mentioning the real opposition which AJB is! Why is that? By doing that these talks only promote the current government
Eric’s description of the weakness of Russia does not correspond to reality, I do not know if Eric is aware that Russia has become the fourth largest economy. “By June, the World Bank had confirmed that, as per its most recent data release from the International Comparison Program (ICP), Russia had overtaken Germany and Japan to become the fourth-largest economy in the world (using the purchasing power parity [PPP] method of GDP calculation).”

absence of monopolies
They can't adress the issue of exiled writers in 20 years, and talking about shaping the future.

High stakes in the year ahead??? Every year is high stakes for Armenia's survival. Unpack that.

Because of its resources but in long-term, Russia is going to implode.
