Vahe,

if you agree that there needs to be a change, you cannot stay neutral – by staying neutral means you approve the status quo.

Going out and burning a couple of more cars? What is wrong of being neutral, BTW? Or you want to repeat the famous words of Lenin, and then Bush - 'who is not with us is against us'? And what should do people like me - who consider Serge as a far, far lesser evil from Levon (not elaborating now, as it's not the point)? Go to the streets to fight the 'peaceful pro-LTP demonstrators'? What are you suggesting, really? Vartan, what are you suggesting? Going out and burning a couple of more cars?

With such regime, change cannot come through laws, drafting regulations and voting (as we have witnessed several times already)..it only needs a charismatic/intelligent leader and determined popular movement ... being neutral or sitting home and sipping coffee and counting the dead is not an armenian thing at least in Armenia. i don’t agree with your comment when you put both the repressive, brutal regime with demonstrators and under-priviledged people, i ‘ve been readon on quite a few blogs the same wordings repeated like parrots “both are to be balmed” as if this evaluation can lead to any outcome in the long term.

And I want to add that now (in view of crushing video evidence against Levon's propaganda, and the need to exclusively counter that propaganda practically in the past) - the time is ripe to seize the moment and unite with very harsh demands and critisism addressed to our corrupt and fraudulent government. I don't think Armenia can afford a civil war or violent revolution (and even if it could, its not a way to go!), but I am completely behind uniting to pressure government to change its ways. Ditto!
