Chidem Inch: “What is the future of our homeland?”
Like most everyone who reads this, I am feeling very sad and helpless.
Armenians around the world knew it was likely this day would come, when our enemy would begin a military offensive to take Artsakh. We knew this was more likely than a favorable outcome for the Armenians. We have felt this way since the blockade of the Berdzor (Lachin) Corridor started over nine months ago. We have felt this way since Aliyev began referring to the Republic of Armenia as Western Azerbaijan.

Great perspective Mark. And Khrimian Hayrik was a visionary clergyman and thought leader and more of a realist than many of the ‘cloth’. It does appear that we are all culpable for allowing the train to be diverted and in hindsight there are many things we should have built up. But here we are with no iron ladle and in a time when fabrication counts for fact. It seems as though things couldn’t be worse. And we think that we have our faith – but the scales no longer balance the way they did in 1915 – the world is desensitized and we appear to be alone. But we do have our faith and we do have each other. So get the fedayi songs ready once again – and get the iron hot for the ladle of today – bring the lobbyists and The Communication companies to the trough and we will fight on a new field of battle.
I am so very sad this is happening. There seems to be no justice for the dear people of Armenia. Im sure it is very difficult to watch this happening.
Thank you for exlaining & helping people like me who are not well read on the struggles of the Armenians get a better understanding.
