In the 50th edition of the #InsightsWithEricHacopian, Eric discusses the current anti-government street protests in Armenia and what his message would be to both the protest leaders and the government. Eric also talks about press freedom in Armenia, and the drastic difference between the way the media operates in Armenia and its neighbors.

Awesome job, Eric and Team!!! Thank you for highlighting the value of freedom as it applies to Armenia! Much Success to you all in your future endeavors!!

[theyeening]

I feel like Armenia desperately needs to get a new, fresh opposition that doesn't have any ties to the former ruling Mafia - because Pashinyan is almost certainly going to stay in power for a long time if this doesn't happen.

Congrats on the 50th episode to the best Armenian aspirational political show in English today!

[ritakuyumjian]

Thank you Eric. I really liked your analysis of freedom of press and economic prosperity. Our country is headed toward the right direction. Albeit Via Dolorosa. We are missing healthy opposition who has country’s interest in heart. Passé slogan’s takes us back 100 years. Don’t they see this?

[sevagpanossian]

Looking forward for the best 50 and more insights. Thanks Eric

Looking at what is happening presently in Armenia, I keep thinking how come we do not see how detrimental this is. No, I am not Nikol supporter at all, I do not agree with many things that Nikol did and what he does now. But do not we see that it is the members of the old regime that represent the true danger to the very existence of the country. Most importantly, we are really talking only about fifty to hundred people who have stolen five times more money than the budget of Armenia itself. This group will do anything, including destruction of Armenia, to preserve this wealth. Why do we not understand that using only legal means and a velvet attitude, Armenia will never neutralize people who have no moral boundaries, control all media and have unlimited financial resources. We love comparing ourselves with Israel. Can you imagine what Israel does with the people who present a danger to the national security of their country. These people just disappear, literally. So, why do we not understand that until these hundred people are not neutralized, Armenia as an independent state has no future. If these people are allowed to survive and function, we will lose not only our sovereignty, we will disappear as an independent country and nation.

Thanks for your job, we are looking forward for more.

[artemissb]

Thank you so much again for an awesome analysis!

[judd]

Putin would have the protestors arrested and put in the gulag (or worse).

[gurgen]

What a great episode. Gave me goosebumps.

[lucyjazznyc]

I love civil net thank you for your work

[hrairdilanchian]

Good on you Eric, you’re doing a good job.
And congratulations for the fiftieth edition

[gayane]

3.000.000 is Armenian population.
6.000 protesting opposition would be
0, 2% of Armenians.

[hrayrsukiasyan]

this is not opposition, just 5th column and counter-revolutionaries performing russian order...so can't get any support

[karinegregorian]

Congratulations, Eric! Well done! I still see you as an advisor to the prime minister. PS: song at the end is breathtaking

[teos]

Just saw this episode and loved it, specially the second part of the show. And you killed it with the ending as always. P.S Great choice of song; Robert Amirkhanyan's Hayreni Yerkir.

[vardanyanser]

Freedom and prosperity are married together!

[zohrabp]

I have never seen such a devastated Armenia internally. Whatever happens it needs to be quick and without concussions. Our time is ticking …

[cece]

Eric, when the new government is in place, I hope they ask you to jump on board as a political analyst/strategist!
