On the eve of 2025, I come to you not with congratulations, but with a request and wish to rethink the present in order to have a future under the heavy consciousness of our common reality.
writes Davit Ananyan, the former chairman of the RA SRC.
"Last year was a repetition of previous failures. The 44-day war and the no less dramatic events that took place after it left deep wounds that seem incurable to this day. During these four long and difficult years, we have lost our lives, we have lost our homeland, we have lost our face and inner self, and what is saddest is that our lost inner self seeks justification and solace in an endless cycle of civic and political apathy and disappointment.
Today, the same anti-national political wind has again appeared on the horizon, blowing in the face of the people the empty breath of pre-election promises and "good" goals aimed at meeting vital demands.
In contrast, although the people want change, they still expect that their voice will be heard and that someone will take responsibility for changing their present and creating the future. But, dear compatriots, it does not happen. Nothing is possible without consolidation. History has shown that a united and courageous people can overcome the biggest challenges.
Uniting is a necessity, even if it seems that uniting around the salvation of the Motherland and national ideas is just a distant vision. Ask questions, demand answers, do not remain indifferent to the fate of your nation. Let's not forget that history is always made by those who are able to rebel, and although it does not always lead to an easy path, it gives hope for a better future.
Let's welcome 2025 as the start of a new struggle.
In this reflection of bitter laughter and tears, let us find the strength to challenge indifference, gathering around us those who are ready to unite for the sake of their children and the future of their Motherland.
