When defeat, loss and concession are presented as a victory, packaged peace and prosperity, it requires not indifferent acceptance or ignorance, but vigilant. It should be alarmed for all those who are ready to look beyond the surface, beyond today's headlines and deepen into history, imagining the future. Former Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian wrote about this. "Today Armenia is in the clutches of two parallel processes. One is more visible and tangible, the other is more secret and cunning. The country wore destructive geopolitical strikes on the ground. Full loss of Artsakh, concessions of the corridor, loss of border areas and threat of new seizures.
These are not isolated phenomena or developments. Together, they mean Armenia's strategic depth and physical safety. The desire to change the Constitution from the National Caassumarization of Mount Ararat, the weakening of the Armenian Apostolic Church, the rewriting of history textbooks, labeling the national aspirations, and even the humiliation of the Genocide, these are not just cosmetic changes. They hit the roots of the collective memory, resistance spirit and moral defense grounds.
The nation does not survive only by keeping an area. It survives to keep the spirit of resistance by nurturing his symbols and remembering the truth of the past. When these columns are demolished, the people are disarmed from the inside. The sovereignty without identity is empty, and the identity without sovereignty, not lasting. If this process does not go, the future will be paradoxical. Armenia may continue to exist as a geographical concept, but we Armenians will put us in danger, to become foreigners in our own homeland. "Non-Armenian Armenia" will be formed, where others are to define the story, rewrite the history.
Nations rarely disappear at once. They fade. The danger may not be that Armenia can disappear, but the fact that it can continue to exist, deprived of the fact that it makes it Armenian, "he wrote.
