Following the current developments in Armenia, we may sadly record that political processes as such seem nonexistent. If by "political process" we imply conspiracies, mutual accusations, and insults of role-players, rallies, and marches, then we can openly state that intense political processes are carried out in Armenia. However, if we try to formulate what the "political process" actually is, we can come to the opposite conclusion.

So what does "political process" mean? It is the process of competition between organized social groups and political institutions that should have

1. projects for the future, generation of thoughts and opinions, meaningful debates, formulated a public opinion
2. reliable public and political formats of organization, which are widely participatory, as well as decision-making and internal electoral mechanisms.

None of the mentioned ones are existent in Armenia, but there is competition, which is expressed by the implementation of "black" PR against each other. Let us imagine it in the form of a lawn, when a plant raises its head, others try to cut it, bringing it to general equality, by the way, equality without content. The debates are undoubtedly, quite heated, but according to the traditions of the last thirty years of our history, they are nothing but a struggle for power, and not qualitative and sound debates about the projects of the future.

States are living organisms in motion that develop due to the competitive struggle between political projects, and the process of creating these projects is called the "political process", and organizations based on mechanisms and rules that ensure mutual trust are the tools through which this "political process" is beginning to materialize in specific actions.

In general, the degree of mutual trust in Armenian society is extremely low. It also applies to interpersonal, inter-structural, and intra-structural spheres. There are interesting studies on states and communities, from which it follows that the level of development of the latter is determined by the indicator of the degree of public trust. The greater the confidence, the higher the development level is.

The conclusion should be clear: we need political entities that propose projects for the future, operate on the basis of specific mechanisms to enjoy public trust, are open and transparent to the public, and have clear decision-making rules.
