Today's Generation Is To Build the Country Their Fathers Dreamed Of
Thursday, 10 May 2012 23:19
Exactly twenty years ago on May 9 Stepanakert citizens sighed with
relief finally getting out of the basements; Shoushi was liberated and
Stepanakert was not under rocket fire any more. The constant missile
blows fired from Shoushi remained in the past though this did not put
an end to the war, Stepanakert was still an ongoing target of rocket
and bomb attacks.
Fortunately, today's younger generation did not witness this reality;
they were born in more peaceful conditions or maybe they were too
small to understand what was going on. Their peaceful life in an
independent country has been attained at the cost of the hardships
their parents had to suffer.
Today's young people born in 1992 and a bit later stand at the contact
line of Armenian-Azerbaijani armed forces; they defend their native
land liberated at the cost of their own fathers' lives thus continuing
the deeds left unfinished by their parents.
Today's Artsakh is the homeland of this generation since they were
born in this very country, they took their steps and attended school
here... The fathers of many of them fell victim for this country. Today
they are not concerned with the negations around Madrid Principles.
All this is perceived as encroachment upon their liberty and their own
country. The thoughts of ceding some territory or return of
Azerbaijani refugees are intolerable for them.
Today this generation is to reject all the claims of ceding something
to Azerbaijan of which they have heard from the elders and which is
constantly threatening Armenia with warlike announcements.
This generation is to carry the responsibility of building the country
their fathers dreamed of, a country where the liberty soldiers'
children will feel proud, where the notions `natives' and `aliens'
will never exist, where no one will live on the remains of garbage
dumps, no one will expect benefaction to be conferred, no one will
plead for charity, where no one will live a life unbefitting of the
victorious Artsakh people, where all will be equal before the law.
In short, they are to build the country thousands of our heroes
dreamed of but did not manage to see the glorious victory their
country won.
