Vahe Hovhannisyan, a member of the “Alternative Projects” group, writes:
“History will put us in front of a choice in the near future. in this regard, the process has already started. All of us will have to make a choice, and there will be no opportunity to hide and avoid.
The basic scenario of the government assumes a new Armenian unit with no memory, no understanding, no history, no sanctity. What we are being offered is, by and large, a “national gender reassignment” program. This is an experiment that the world will watch closely. You have to be honest. many will accept this, many will show that they do not understand, (they are not involved in politics), many will say: I am against it, but I will look from the side. However, a much larger number of people will refuse, being ready to stand up for their history, values, graves, temples, right to dream. And this majority will lose in a shameful way if there is no honest and competent management of the struggle.
Italian writer Primo Levi, a former inmate of Auschwitz, describes in his book “If this is a man” the transformation of a man into a non-man in a concentration camp. First, they kill a person from the inside: dignity, memory, longing. And the fascist machine gets a completely incapable mass, without rebellion, without resistance, without any right to dissent.
We are now being offered the same path. you have no right to remember that you had an independent state that won for 27 years, that together you had serious successes at the cost of great hardships, that you were a participant in historical victories and historical events, that you had dignity, that Amaras is Armenian, that Gandzasar, Dadivank are Armenian and one day they will be under our control again. Thus, one should forget until the day of the cattle. it wasn’t yours, you were deceived, don’t remember, don’t believe even the things you were a part of.
What to do to win the election?
Election is not just voting. Moreover, if we as individuals, units and society have made our choice in advance, then there is no voting day to fear or reject.
The first step is to look directly, with open eyes, at the choice forced upon us all. Accept reality as it is.
The second step is to solve the problem of correct management of the struggle.
Step three: get out of Nicole’s tension traps, of which there are three key ones:
Past-present
Loot of the former
Anyway, nothing can be changed anymore, everything is over.
With these three traps, the government disintegrates the society, inhibits any healthy consolidation process, any hope and will. This must be disrupted. I will successively present my proposals to get out of the three traps.”
