At any moment a rebellion can break out in Armenia and grow into a revolution, according to culture expert Vardan Jaloyan.

"It is only when the 'lower classes' do not want to live in the old way and the 'upper classes' cannot carry on in the old way that the revolution can triumph," Vardan Jaloyan quoted Lenin adding, "In Armenia the lower classes [people] do not want and upper classes [authorities] have cracks that may abruptly weaken their position."

Like in Tunisia and Egypt, a riot in Armenia can be incited by the grave socio-economic situation.

Citizens who are discontent with the "patronage" system of government and cannot display their abilities and talent will join the demonstrators.

The number of people with civic consciousness has grown in Armenia since 2008. These people, according to the culture expert, are destined to lead masses.

"No one seeks revolutions and wars. Revolutions are carried out in extreme cases," Jaloyan ended with the words of Leon Trotsky.
