A person cannot be identified by his clothes, possessions, path, workplace, family life, and even more so, political views. It’s all changeable, external. What is essential is the divine nature of man, which exists in everyone, from maniacal murderers to saints.
We approach a person according to the standards of our dualistic thinking: is he ours or a stranger? Is he black or white? Does he share my beliefs, worldview or not? The person cannot be seen under all those external outfits. And this is where our attitude toward life and death comes from.
I don’t like popular perceptions: “Let’s not talk after the dead” or “The soil will inform.” The fact that man is mortal must be kept in mind when he is alive. And the ability to die (let me reveal a big secret) is characteristic of all of us. For that very reason, whatever that person is, whatever he does, whatever sins he commits, his human dignity (divine nature) cannot be insulted, regardless of whether he exists physically or not.
CC members often say horrible, monstrous things. Humanly, I cannot accept their judgments about Artsakh when in fact; they agree to sacrifice the lives of 120 thousand people for some incomprehensible “noble goals.” Their constant desire to divert all topics to the “formers” as an excuse for their failures is also unacceptable. The late Vigen Khachatryan also gave speeches in that spirit.

But let me repeat: one should not separate a person’s clothes, occupation, or views from the person himself. And to talk about the life and health of any person with reverence. Rejoicing, mocking, being angry, and “passing the destiny” to others manifest an unhealthy mental world.
It pains me to see anyone die, even a minor health problem of any person. Politics or personal difficulties have “taken away” many people, and I would like those who “passed away” to return.
