Vahe H Apelian
I post this blog to enshrine prime minister Nikol Pachinyan’s appeal (see below).
We are at a cross road.
At this crucial moment of our history, and for the very first time, ideologically I stand with Nikol Pachinyan as a person, who also happens to be the PM of the Republic of Armenia.
I stood by him as the PM because the citizens of Armenia elected him in an orderly and transparent election to govern them with their consent. But I cross the threshold now and I stand with him because of what he stands for as a citizen of Republic of Armenia. We either have a free and independent Armenia or not.
We either have a free and independent Republic of Armenia or not.
A free and independent Republic of Armenia that freely relates to all nations in the. East, West, North and South and respects their sovereignty, culture and religion, and expects them that they reciprocate likewise
Many of these nations have also welcomed us in our times of need and given us the opportunity to lead a God given dignified life, without fear of persecution. In this transforming process, we have become a global nation.
The alternative is for the Republic of Armenia be subject to a state of servitude, at the whims of outside powers.
Nations in the East, West, North and South need not fear us for, in the words of BaruyrSavag, we are a small nation and…
“If we have enslaved, only with our eyes.
And if we have ruled, only with our books,
If we have prevailed, only with our talents.
And if we have ever oppressed,
It has only been with our wounds.”
May free and independent Armenia long live.
