We Finally Found Something to Be Proud Of

July 10,2024 10:30

In the last six years, it “seems” that until 2018, the Third Republic had nothing to be particularly proud of. “We had our eyes on someone else’s territory,” “occupied” it, and nothing else was happening in our internal life except for “looting.” After that, “the people” carried out the velvet revolution, then “the people” created their ideology (which can be summarized very briefly as “we want to live well”), and soon “the people” will create a new Constitution, where they will write what their hearts desire. Most importantly, it will remove the “toxic” mention of the RA Declaration of Independence from the preamble.

But even before 1991, we had nothing to be particularly proud of. For centuries, Armenians carried some “meaningless” khachkars, and “clerical-feudal circles” hindered the creation of the state. National symbols, in particular, Mount Ararat, are also considered “toxic,” arousing the surrounding bulls. In short, the centuries-old history of Armenia is portrayed as quite dark and unhappy.

All bright episodes and unprecedented achievements supposedly “happened” after 2018. Finally, there are occasions to be “infinitely proud.” The latest reason to be proud is the barbed wire installed near the village of Kirants, which presumably guarantees the safety of Armenia.

It is, of course, ridiculous, and we can laugh at the CC childishness, if tens of thousands of people who lost their homes did not live next to us, if Azerbaijanis in Artsakh did not destroy our churches and graves, if our Armenians were not in captivity in Baku, and if our mothers did not continue to search for the remains of their deceased children.

Is the barbed wire a guarantee that Azerbaijan will not attack us in the age of missiles and UAVs?

It is, of course, ridiculous, and we can laugh at the extreme infantilism of the government, if tens of thousands of people who lost their homes did not live next to us, if Azerbaijanis in Artsakh did not destroy our churches and graves, if our Armenians were not in captivity in Baku, and our mothers did not continue to search for the remains of their dead children.

Is the barbed wire a guarantee that Azerbaijan will not attack us? In the age of missiles and UAVs? Really?
