The political heavyweights participating in the upcoming elections should always have in mind that what is at stake is the security of the state and the society, and therefore, each statement or recommendation, which may be ostensibly attractive, yet effectively reckless, may turn into a security threat. Stirring up unrealistic expectations can have detrimental impact on the social-economic process and directly threaten the security and stability of the country, especially when in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and defeat in the war, both the country and its citizens are facing an existential crisis and when the public institutions are very fragile.

The financial sector is not an exception. Thus, in the result of shaping various expectations and failing to immediately satisfy those, the social behaviour may trigger artificial fluctuations of the national currency and inflation, with very harmful further consequences. Moreover, fallacious expectations often compel people to make ineffective decisions and suffer the consequences, when they start spending their savings of many years.

Artsakhis having returned to Artsakh, or still residing in Armenia, face various challenges. Many have lost everything: a home, property, all means of livelihood. Many Artsakhis were rushed out of their homes in such a hurry that they were unable to take even clothes and personal items with them. Today, having been left without a homeland, having lost family and friends, having to tend to family members who have been wounded at war and have not yet recovered, many Artsakhis face grave social challenges and can hardly imagine how they will go on with their lives.

Almost all the economic sectors of Artsakh are vulnerable today. There are significant losses in the mining industry. The largest mine of Kashen is deprived of water, as the water sources feeding into the mine are already under the control of Azerbaijan. There was a gold mine in Kovsakan, which again is under the Azerbaijani control. The second largest sector of Artsakh’s economy is electricity and gas provision.
