"Fact" daily writes:
The war took away mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, all of us, our... children.
I emphasize the words "from us" and "our" because I believe that there is no child of a stranger, and it does not matter whose son was immortalized in wars.
They are the sons of all of us. And Mkhitar's mother, Ruzanna, having an irreversible loss in her life, chose the path of being strong.
Surely, it is not easy to "put on the clothes" of a strong mother and wife and go on the road, but it is necessary for the sake of... Names are many and important. Ruzanna Mkhitaryan brought to life the event entitled "Your silence knows how to speak".
On November 9, under the roof of the Hakob Paronyan State Theater of Musical Comedy, the boys' families, relatives and guests gathered to participate in the event dedicated to the memory of those who died in all wars.
It started with the national anthems of the Republics of Armenia and Artsakh. Students of "Luys Kanteghner" children's and youth studio, "Hatchen" dance ensemble were on stage.
Nine new songs were played, the author of which was Mrs. Ruzanna. In general, the screenwriter and author of the entire event is Mkhitar's mother. The event was made possible thanks to the financial support of benefactors.
The thanks from the stage were addressed both to them, to the head of the enlarged Nor Hach community, to the director of the Nor Geghi Culture House and to the entire staff, and to the entire creative group, each one by name.
The Ministry of Defense helped inform the families of the deceased boys about the event, and with the support of the Ministry of Education and Culture, the theater hall was provided free of charge for the event.
Ms. Ruzanna thanked those present at the event, everyone who supported its establishment, stood by her side. "We must strengthen ourselves, gird ourselves, walk towards the light.
Thank you to the heroic mothers and strong-willed fathers," said Mrs. Ruzanna. On September 27, the events were launched in Nor Geghi, Mkhitar's native village.
"The event was supposed to be held in all regions of Armenia. Only Ararat marz responded to our proposal.
The event was held in the cities of Ararat and Vedi. Other marzes either rejected us, or in the case of some, we are still waiting for an answer.
In some cases, they responded that "there are more important issues, we can't, there is a financial crisis, the hall is not heated." Their support was supposed to be in the form of providing transportation and food.
Now I would like to hold this event at least in the military units, we will hardly apply to the marzes and rural communities anymore," said Mrs. Ruzanna in a conversation with "Pasti".
According to him, the main message of the event is as follows: to get out of the darkness and go after the light. "I have found a small light in the darkness and I am spreading it on my nation. We have to keep living to keep our boys alive. They faced a choice between motherland and motherland.
They chose the motherland for the mother to live, half-hearted, empty, with no wings. It is important for any parent to talk to their son, to ask about his suffering. Many were in the dark, but I want this event to shed light for many.
No matter how hard it is, we must remember those cruel days every year, continuing to live, we must not forget what happened to us.
Accepting our reality, we must go to the light, teach the generations to put values first.
The survivors will speak as long as we exist, as long as there is a homeland," says Mkhitar's mother. At the end of the event, standing ovations were given to the martyred boys and the soldiers standing at the border.
Mrs. Ruzanna urged them. "Live for the motherland, walk and breathe for the motherland and return home from the border to the arms of your mothers. Many of our boys have not been heard from for years, their mothers continue to wait for them. We are also kept by the light and hope of waiting for our boys.
Every day I leave the door of the house open for Mkhitars to enter. We are also waiting with faith for your sons to return home."
