The speech of Aghvan Vardanyan, a member of the “Hayastan” bloc, in 2026. before the June 7 elections.
We are on the border. On one side is our spiritual-cultural-military-business heritage, on the other side is the unpatriotic emptiness of arrogant, talkative, populist schismatics.
On one side are Mashtots, Narekatsi, Tumanyan, Komitas, Charents, Saryan, Matevosyan. he said: the real Armenian people, on the other side – the liars, cowards, gluttons, treacherous, dirty, hateful, misanthropic Nikol and his small group of nothingness.
On one side is national humiliation, on the other side is pride in our identity, striving for new victories.
On one side are Ararat and Etchmiadzin, on the other side is Nikol’s seat and the government summer house.
On one side is the Northern Avenue built during Kocharyan’s reign, the restored disaster zone, cultural centers, Davitashen, Ashtarak bridges, new roads, “Tumo” center, 100 thousand jobs, new productions, on the other side – the asphalt that melts with the snow and nothing permanent.
On one side, there is hysterical whining, on the other side, heavy speech and attitude.
On one side, those who made Armenia one of the three most angry countries in the world, those who embody hatred, on the other side, those who bring love and solidarity.
On one side, there is strength, will, work, state thinking, a strong, prosperous Armenia, the determination to become an influential Armenian factor in the world, on the other side, the weakness, gluttony, and irresponsible-inhuman existence of those who have made it a habit to have fun during the time of the plague.
The border is drawn. either, or.
We are coming to end their rule. We are coming to restore the dignity of Armenians. We are coming to impose respect for ourselves and our country. We are coming to rediscover ourselves, to awaken the strength of a strong, fair, united Armenian, we are coming so that this anti-Armenian misunderstanding, the failure of Armenians will never raise its head again.
We come with strength, mind, spirit, cross.
The condition is thrown, there is no other option. We will remove them and bring pride to our people with brave, experienced, patriotic people, we will close this tragic phase of our history.
June 7th is the day of Saint Etchmiadzin. I am sure that on that very day, our people will open a new page by their choice, a new beginning, and together we will go along the difficult but unshakable path of having the country of our dreams, strengthening the Republic of Armenia, and re-creating an Armenian man with his head held high in the world.
I tell you the truth. I say, and it will happen.
