The Ukraine crisis, which threatens to change the world and the existing world order, will further continue to be the focus of the world press and expert discussions, even after the end of that war, regardless of its consequences.

The discussions will be wide-ranging, but the main topic will be what to do next: what new world and world order will replace the existing one or whatever existed before the war? At the moment, we can state that international relations and the world economy, etc. have collapsed since they all are interconnected in the globalist world.

In this context, it is no less important how different societies react to the total crisis, what images of reality are formed in the public consciousness, and how they combine it with their national interest.

Naturally, in this regard, we are interested in the mood of the Armenian society or, as they have recently started to put it, the prevailing mood among the population. Some of the leaders of the current regime prefer to use the word "population" instead of "society".

For instance, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated in Turkey that “Generally, the population of Armenia wants to normalize relations with Turkey”.

Society, contrary to the population, is an organized collectivity, which is typical of civilized nations, united around prevailing public views. One may say that after the 44-day war, the Armenian society has really turned into a population, as it is unable to adequately perceive, analyze and comprehend the devastation taking place inside and around the country and reach appropriate conclusions and dominating assessments.

The best description of this situation is the spontaneous, contradictory, and unfounded reaction in the press and social networks regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war. There is an impression that Armenia is inhabited by people belonging to different nationalities and civilizations, who are brought up in the spirit of different value systems, speak one language, and are considered "Armenian" merely due to circumstance.

Of course, any milestone may be approached from different perspectives: humanitarian, national interest, ideological ideas, etc. All these approaches can exist at the same time in any society, and it is natural. However, official, political and expert circles usually base their views on one general principle that unites everyone - the national interest, which alleviates the conflict of views and leads to a certain national consensus.

Unfortunately, we do not see such an approach in us and, perhaps, Mirzoyan is right to speak not on behalf of the people of Armenia or at least the society, but of the population. If, of course, we leave aside the question of how he managed to reveal the desire of the population of Armenia in this confusion of values and notice what it wants and what it does not want.
