About the panic
July 20 2013
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is speaking every other day about
attacking Armenia. Meanwhile, a variety of arguments are brought in
favor of this thesis. For example, `Sevan is ours, Yerevan is ours,
Zangezoor is ours' and other similar absurd. If any Armenian media
quotes these words of the head of the neighboring country, does it
mean a national treason. I think, no, because our readers and viewers
need to know what kind of nonsense this person is filling the brain of
its own people. Customary nonsense is the fact that there is a panic
in Armenia in connection with the purchase of new weapons by
Azerbaijan. This is how Aliev tries to explain the `decrying' that are
sometimes raised in Armenia to the address of Russians. Let us put
aside that we should not `gab' to the address of any nation, or a
state: they have their own interests, we have ours. But naming the
rebukes against Russians `panic', I think, means putting the reality
for desired. Every person having a secondary education knows that the
United States had much more modern weapons than Vietnam, and the
Soviet Union was exceeding Afghanistan in military weapons, but the
superpowers in these two countries did not particularly reach success.
Why? Because wars are not won with weapons, but with the motivation to
fight. The people of the neighboring country do not have the
motivation to attack us, and if the country's leadership, however,
make such a frantic step, it's up to its sin. And, generally, panic is
not a good thing, it prevents to adequately assess the situation. In
the inner political life, the opponents often write that `the regime
is in a panic.' And, thus, for 20 years. I understand that it is a
means to embolden its own team and its own electorate. But, I do not
think that the panic is typical to any authorities of Armenia, in the
past and now. The self-confidence reaching the arrogance that `nothing
can stop us,' `who is that guy,' and so on, yes, it was and is. I
would prefer that their hearts were not in panic but anxiety, and not
for their own seats (it certainly is), but for the events taken place
in Armenia and the region. But, God forbid a panic! The sports
commentators also like the word `panic': `the opponent's penalty area
appeared in panic situation.' This characterization also seldom
complies with the reality. ARAM ABRAHAMYAN
