If a poor and therefore a few-member opposition party wants to induce a rich and therefore a many-member party for the latter to execute a change of power, then this few-member party is under a delusion. If the rich manages to take on the power, it will do it just for itself, and not for anyone else, and after taking on, it will count on its interests only, will establish its own rules of the game, and will use the poor as an ancillary tool.
If a small nation wants to induce a big and military potential having nation for the latter to conquer “historic lands” once belonging to this nation for the beautiful eyes of this small nation, it is also under a delusion. The conqueror does it for itself and not for someone else, and it does it by its rules of the game, it pursues its and not someone else’s Cause. “Yes, we got helped, said Vazgen Sargsyan in the summer of 1995, in my television interview, but what we have achieved, is it thanks to our soldier and our nation?

Of course, considering their interests, but not serving for them. Bright Europe, and not so bright, but weapons possessing Russia will support us as much as it is to their benefit. Abstract human or historical justice has not and will not play any role in the policy of the 19th, 20th, 21st or any other century. The assertions of strategic alliance or Eastern partnership have the same value as Erdoğan’s “regret”, today they will make friends, tomorrow they will leave at the mercy of fate. It is impossible to open the border, which you do not control. If something does not belong to you, it can easily be transferred to your opponent. All of this has a direct connection to April 24.
The words that we were saying on that day in the Soviet Armenia and the Diaspora, are worn out, have lost their relevance when there are two Armenian states, which, today, at least for me, are the embodiment of the concept “Armenia”. The maps, which show how big Armenia was 100 or 1000 years ago, and where our border was crossing, have a purely academic significance. The border is where the soldier of our Armenian army is standing.
