BETWEEN THE COLONY AND THE COLONY "Aren't you afraid of this situation, of the prospect of being silenced?" Many people, acquaintances and strangers, have been asking this question in recent days. I am afraid, of course, a normal person cannot be afraid of imprisonment or going to a colony. About thiswroteTurkic scholar Varuzhan Geghamyan.
"But at the same time the following is clear. 2023, 2020, 2016, 1988-1994. or 1918 my fathers and brothers were afraid, but the fear of losing the homeland, of becoming a colony, was greater, so they selflessly defended the homeland in the trenches.
Now in 2025 Those who fought in the rest of the homeland were "lucky". our trench is not as wet as that of the boys, the hostile force used against us is not unmanned and artillery, our sleeping place is not in the open air. Therefore, we must bear our share of responsibility, our share of struggle, if necessary, not being afraid of those dictatorial methods that are now being used against all national forces, from bishops to mayors. To fight and not retreat, confident in tomorrow's victory.
Due to the fight, the temporary "colony" can stop the formation of the "colony". In this situation, all national political forces, regardless of orientation, history, ideology, are obliged for the sake of Armenian statehood.
- form a united political and informational front against violence at any cost,
- fight together for the cancellation of the dictatorship at any cost.
This is the minimum. This is what I demand from the leaders of all the forces that enjoy my trust, from all the parties and individuals that have declared a political struggle. I request and urge all those who are afraid to speak under various pretexts (but they read me). now is the time for everyone to speak and resist. Then you will be silenced and live in prison, first in a colony, then in a settlement. It's time to talk," he wrote.
