Abstract:The concept of ethics has evolved over millennia, becoming not only a guide for individual behavior but also a cornerstone of public and state systems.
In order to present the ethical system in depth, we first addressed the fundamental philosophical questions that lie at the core of human thought. Based on these foundations, we developed the philosophical inquiries of “Armenian National Ethics”, positioning them as key tenets that reveal the essence of Armenian national thought.
Within this ethical framework, we identified the principle and mechanism of justice, rooted in virtue, without which a functional state system is impossible.
The article aims to reject the mindset of “turning the homeland into ruins.” We connected Armenian National Ethics directly with the Law on Public Service Ethics of the Republic of Armenia, emphasizing the critical importance of maintaining the ethical system and its principles for the effective functioning of a national state structure.
We approached Armenian National Ethics through the most fundamental philosophical questions of thought, developing it up to the normative legal requirements of the Republic of Armenia—once again proving that a system of public ethics is not merely coercive, but an expression of the political consciousness of society and the “thought of the heart,” that is, conscience.
By viewing the state as the highest expression of the public interest, we have redefined it as the primary mechanism for serving personal interest and as a necessary condition for its realization.
The ethical system can function only through the joint and simultaneous engagement of both the public and the public servant.
