"Time for Armenia to be wounded
After defeats and such disasters, rational recovery begins from one irrational point. society must be offended.
For taking the country to war, for not stopping the war on time, for the endless Yerablur, for the lost Artsakh, for the insolent behavior of the government in the background of the disaster, for fun and enjoyment, for the vulgar violation of our dignity by Aliyev, for the official exhibition photos in the days of sadness and loss, for the vulgar reality that this government gave and dedicates us, each and all of us together, for all this society must be wounded to the core.
The critical mass of change is not the large number of people at the rally, but the necessary number of citizens who have felt insulted in society. Until the Armenian people are offended and decide to express their offense, there is no need to wait for changes. As long as he is not hurt, Aliyev will have the opportunity and, sorry, the right to hurt us.
We don't behave like humans to be put in human's place. Collective insult means rejecting the vulgar present.
We have to be ashamed of our behavior, ashamed that we tolerated, that we allowed, that we bowed down, that we said "Your Honor", that we denied everything for a small gain, we found a thousand and one excuses for our undignified behavior. And until we have this, we have to listen to Aliyev's words. "We forced the enemy, who said in 2019, ``Karabakh is Armenia, and that's it,'' to say that Karabakh is Azerbaijan, and will continue to say so." This was not only told to Nicole, it was told to all of us.
This is made possible by the community of unabashed "honorable" speakers and those who bow to them, and every time you and your loved ones are sent to say "honorable" for the sake of office, remember this. When in parallel with the destruction of cities and villages in Artsakh, festive events with artificial vulgar splendor are organized in the cities and villages of Armenia at the state level, remember that. Remember the "Honourables" whose hands you shook and bowed to, whom you allowed to continue to rule after all the disasters they brought.
And before you get offended by Aliyev's words, be offended by yourself, by your smallness, by your participation. As soon as the society starts to be offended, changes will begin. But the task of the forces representing the future is to understand the society, to understand what layers are in what condition, what important things are destroyed and deformed, as a society of defeat, what temporary subcultures exist. Understand, work, change."
