Do Armenians choose peace?

25.06.21 14:20


After Nikol Pashinyan's party won the parliamentary elections in Armenia, gaining 53.92%, it became obvious that the Armenians no longer want war. Not revanchist, not "victorious" - none. First of all, the Armenians clearly do not want the casualties and hardships associated with the new war.

 

No, of course, many citizens of Armenia do not mind that some powers for the Armenians expanded the borders of “great Armenia” and “presented on a silver platter” foreign territories, as they expected in 1920 from American President Woodrow Wilson. But Wilson did not succeed then. And now neither Biden nor Putin is even going to "donate" foreign lands to the Armenians.

 

And people don't really want to die for foreign lands, whose conquest no one recognizes anyway and on which all the majority of Armenians are not going to live. And the fact that over the past 30 years the majority of Armenians dreamed of arranging their lives not in Artsakh and not even always in Yerevan, but in Moscow, Sochi, or Stavropol, is the most eloquent confirmation that the ideas of “Great Armenia” have temporarily become irrelevant...

 

The revanchist bloc of ex-President of Armenia Robert Kocharian "Armenia" gained only 21.04% - this even though the Russian Armenian lobby actively supported it. The indicator is very significant. Of course, Armenians who have settled well in Moscow or Sochi will not die on the battlefields of a new revanchist war.

 

The citizens of Armenia will have to send their sons to die to “amuse the pride of Margarita Simonyan or Arma Gabrilyanov. But most Armenians are not satisfied with such prospects. Moreover, in real life Kocharyan, apart from war and massacre, cannot offer them anything, except the resumption of corruption schemes that fabulously enriched representatives of the "Karabakh clan", who squeezed all the juices out of impoverished Armenia. And it will be necessary to fight in a revanchist war for someone else's land, from where the "Artsakh" separatists themselves shamefully fled, burning houses and cutting down trees, turning foreign villages, previously captured by them, into a desert.

 

The Armenian society will pay for its rulers' past mistakes and crimes for a long time. Instability in Armenia is also payback for the previous rate of aggression and miatsum. But the process of "cleansing" Armenia from aggressive nationalism sooner or later must begin. Overcoming nationalist myths is a matter for the future of the Armenian people.
