if not for the Tashnagtsution we would still be in hiding in the dark
the more you learn about the events, with all our shortcomings, Tashnags, Henchags, and Ramgavars gave the Armenians hope and identity
credit, without the Tashnags we would not have the Yerakuyn, Mer Hyrenik or Genocide remembrance, Turks hated them Communists hated them but could not break them, 2 of the devils advocates
