Many will say that our slogans, such as “Toward Greater Armenia, Toward a Glorious Future,” and our objectives, such as carrying out a national revolution at the historically opportune moment and bringing Baku to its knees, are overly grandiose and “unrealistic,” given our current state of defeat and humiliation. At first glance, their argument may seem logical, but in reality, the opposite is true, because only lofty aspirations can raise a defeated nation to its feet, not pathetic and half-hearted “solutions.” With such defeatist attitudes, we will never be able to unite our nation, especially its youth. Who would rally around slogans such as “Well, we just have to get by,” “We don't have the resources,” “We are weak,” or any other servile rhetoric, especially when a major crisis strikes our country? It is impossible, just as it would be impossible for a commander on the battlefield to rally and inspire frightened and demoralized soldiers by telling them, for example: “We cannot defeat the attacking enemy because they outnumber us and have more weapons.”

They consider us “unrealistic” and “ unserious” because we constantly emphasize that we must rely on ourselves and prepare for a serious struggle. But in reality, the opposite is true: they are the truly unrealistic ones, because they live with rose-colored glasses, immersed in illusions that have nothing to do with the bitter reality. They believe that achieving peace depends solely on our own willingness, instead of telling the people that peace must be earned by becoming a force to be reckoned with.

These self-proclaimed “wise men and realists of all Armenians” have confused cowardice, begging, capitulation, and making concessions with realism. Over the past 30 years, we have witnessed the “realism” and “pragmatic” policies of the these traitors, who inherited a liberated Artsakh but failed to unite it with Armenia into a single state. Instead, they led us to a humiliating defeat and have now left us on our knees before the tyrant of Baku. If we continue to follow them and pursue such a concessionary policy, another defeat will be inevitable. Let us remember the famous American saying: “Give them an inch, and they will take a mile.” A realist is someone who relies first and foremost on their own strength and does not believe in salvation coming from abroad. Only through this approach can we secure genuine allies and assert our will in geopolitical affairs.

If, over these past five years, the Ukrainians have been able to resist the Russian Federation, the Iranians the United States of America, and the Houthis Saudi Arabia, is it really “unrealistic” to believe that we can not only resist Azerbaijan but also inflict a crushing defeat upon it, just as we did in the 1990s?

Realism and reason begin with the recognition that without demonstrating strength and resistance, we are doomed to destruction. The enemy will continue advancing, regardless of how much we talk about false peace or how many shameful concessions we make. The time will come when we will be compelled to strike back forcefully against our arch-enemy and settle our score with it once and for all, regardless of whether we have the resources or are prepared for it. In such a fateful scenario, I can clearly envision the downfall of Baku's criminal regime and the complete disintegration of the terrorist state of Azerbaijan, just as Yugoslavia was dismembered in Europe. For the Armenian nation, this would mark the beginning of building Greater Armenia. And, of course, this will only happen when we have a national state and a national leader.

There is also a widely known saying: the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it. But the opposite is also true: the greater the truth, the fewer people will believe it. And that is why so many people are now ignoring this one true path, this one and only solution. They tell us that we are the “unrealistic” ones, but in reality, no one is more clear-headed than those who think as we do. Nevertheless, no matter how much the fainthearted may wish to label us “extremists,” “unrealistic,” or “romantics” at this moment, we will continue to dream of such a glorious future, and our long-term political strategy will be shaped around making that dream a reality.

We are confident that if our freedom fighters were alive today, they would endorse every single thing we have said. For us, this is sufficient proof that our approach, our mindset, and our national agenda are not merely realistic, but the most realistic of all.

One Nation, One State, One Will

Hail Armenia and Victory!
