Seeing the cynical behaviour of our people, and especially our political class, lately, I am almost convinced that we as a nation deserve to disappear. It's simple Darwinism applied to a nation: we are small in numbers, limited in resources, kind of isolated from friendly nations, but we are also the ones who choose Nikol from among ourselves: a hypocrite, a serial liar, a glutton, without any principles, red lines or dignity. And sometimes I ask myself: how did we get here? Was it always like this, or is it because of the deliberate and consistent efforts of our enemies to corrupt our nation (by using social psychology techniques)? Given some shameful episodes in our history, like the handover of Kars without a fight and the actions of Bolshevik "Armenians" during the same period, sometimes I think that yes, we deserve to disappear and become Mustafas and Altuns in the next generations. But then I come across that video of Robert Abajian fighting, and I feel proud that despite all the viruses in our nation, the Armenian womb is still able to carry the highest form of existence, and the fact that we are still here is not an accident.

Even though we elect Nikol as our leader, I am sure no one will name their child "Nikol" for generations to come, and our grandchildren will speak of him and his people as we speak of the Bolsheviks.

Please watch the last part of the video so you know what I mean.

P.S. Thanks to Eric Hacobian for doing this great work. We don't have many journalists who have any dignity.

P.S. I am not surprised by the government removing pictures of our heroes. Even though I think it's a direct order from Aliyev (as part of "denazification"), these heroes are also archetypal enemies of QP: people who value them cannot choose Nikol.
