It has become abundantly clear that we, as a people, are living through a time of profound national crisis. The very soul of the Armenian nation, and the foundational pillars that have sustained us for centuries, are under assault.
The deepening turmoil in Armenia and the Diaspora, marked by the collapse of public discourse and unprecedented attacks on the Armenian Apostolic Church, is not merely political. It is a direct assault on the core of our national identity.
For millennia, the Church has been more than a religious institution. It is the bedrock of our resilience, the cradle of our culture, and a symbol of our endurance through genocide and foreign rule. To witness Armenian state security forces lay siege to Etchmiadzin—the spiritual heart of our nation—as if it were a fortress to be stormed, is a wound inflicted upon every Armenian’s heart and soul.
The rhetoric of the current Armenian government, which vilifies our sacred institutions and turns the unifying forces of faith, history, and culture into points of conflict, only serves the interests of our enemies. Their agenda weakens our national fabric at a time when unity is essential.
An Armenia torn by internal strife, where religious leaders and civic reformers are arrested under dubious circumstances, is one left dangerously exposed to those who wish to see our nation fractured and our sovereignty dissolved. The silence of many is not consent—it is the silence of exhaustion and despair. That silence must now be broken.
This is a moment for reflection, but more importantly, it is a time for action. We must return to the values that have shaped our civilization and guided us through history.
True Armenian strength does not reside in vulgarity or division. It lives in dignity, wisdom, and the unity that has carried us through our darkest trials.
Armenia needs new leadership. Leadership that respects our sacred traditions, honors our national history, defends our sovereignty, and restores public discourse grounded in truth and integrity. This is not a mere political preference. It is a national imperative.
A society united in purpose, even when diverse in opinion, is our strongest defense. We must become a nation that can disagree without turning on itself. We must once again stand together against all threats, internal and external.
The future of Armenia depends on our collective will to protect our values, our institutions, and our people. We must rise to this moment with the strength and resilience that define the Armenian spirit.
And let it be stated plainly: the current regime has betrayed the Armenian people. Their removal is not optional. It is essential for our survival.
Let Us Reclaim Our Future
- Remember Our Heritage: The Armenian Apostolic Church is inseparable from our national consciousness. An attack on the Church is an attack on our identity. We must stand in its defense.
- Demand Dignity and Respect: The current political discourse is beneath our nation. We must reject vulgarity and insist on a dialogue that reflects the dignity of our heritage.
- Unite Against All Foes: Internal division is our greatest weakness. A fractured nation cannot resist external threats. Let us unite around the values and institutions that have always safeguarded us.
