Quite Different Things

"The crises and the concussions that our society has faced for
many years have brought to the mentality of merging statehood with
power. People usually can’t differentiate statehood from power. And
very often those who struggle against the ruling power, thus destroy
the state.

If these people feel this difference they themselves will bring the
ruling power into their senses. Otherwise we will spoil everything. If
we don’t have a state we will lose everything that we have,"
psychologist Karine Nalchajyan says.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
