INDEPENDENCE IS AN INNER CHARACTERISTICS
September 12 2013
The fact that Vladimir Putin is well aware of our Statistical Services
as to how many people live in Armenia, is natural. More precisely,
the Statistic Services is also aware of it, but it has reasons to
hide the truth, but not Putin. I do not see anything particularly
humiliating here, maybe RF President needs to be slightly scolded for
not being tactful. Humiliation was in another place. Where did this
whole conversation come from? The Russian businessman Ara Abrahamyan
assures the President of his country that all Armenians in the RF
are on your side. I do not know whether he had reasons to say such
a thing or not, it's up to them. Putin half-jokingly is asking, -
"And what about Armenia's?" The Armenian businessman was supposed to
give a serious answer to it,- "The Armenians of Armenia have no problem
of supporting or not supporting you, we have nothing to do with those
people, because they are citizens of another country." I think the RF
President would not hang the businessman for such an answer, he would
not even take his business. Everything is clear. Karabakh, military
base, "Smerch", "Iskander", gas, and so on. It is also clear that in
this situation the Russian officials, kurghinyan kind of political
scientists, maybe also a part of ordinary citizens would call us, which
very precisely in their language is called Â"Ñ...амвÑ~AÑ~BвоÂ"
(Translator's note, boorishness). (Although, in this case, overshooting
gives the effect of a boomerang, but it is still up to them). But,
even in this case it is possible to maintain the dignity, and it is
also possible to grovel when it is not required from you. It was even
in the Soviet times, and to this respect one of the best examples
for me was Karen Demirchyan, which, naturally, was not opposing the
Center, but on the other hand, he did not cringe before them. The
same can be said about numerous intellectuals living in the Soviet
Armenia in 60-70â~@²s. I do not know whether Putin wants to create
something good or bad than the Soviet Union, at least the members
of this new union would be formally called independent. But in all
circumstances, the independence is based on the inner consciousness of
given nation. For example, the residents of the Baltic Republics, in
their heart, mostly did not feel like a citizen of this great country
during 40 years of the Soviet Union. Can the same be said about the
Armenians? To what extent is this inner feeling conditioned by the
EU, CU, Eurasia or Russia? It is the same on the individual level,
ultimately, all major religious teachings show their way to achieve
inner freedom. ARAM ABRAHAMYAN
