SAMVEL BEGLARYAN. "BEING A PARTICIPANT OF THE KARABAKH MOVEMENT HAS BECOME A TORTOISE SHELL."
February 26 2015
27 years have passed since the beginning of the Karabakh movement. We
asked the Head of the Tavush regional office of the Writers' Union of
Armenia, the writer of Noyemberyan city Samuel Beglaryan about the
movement's achievements, shortcomings and mistakes. He said, "When
it started with environmental matters, Abovyan's movement reached the
Yerevan city square. We understood that it was just a mask, a cover,
a shield, there was a subtext, there were lower obstacles, it was a
national movement and a national awakening. And the fact that we began
with expectations and we saw what was the beginning. If we compare it
with today, I am very much sorry, but it happens that very nice parents
give birth to defective children, defective generations. And today,
20-25 years later, as a result we are having a child who was born
with heart defect and acquired it after the birth. In my opinion, it
was acquired later, at the beginning it was very clean, very pure and
nationwide. Later, it got sick with an untreatable virus. And today,
hundreds and thousands of people speculate saying that they were at
the sources of the national liberation movement. But as a flag, it
fits in the National Assembly and the offices. Today, the Karabakh
movement and being a participant of the national liberation movement
has become a tortoise shell, in other words, they are protected with
this. Anyway, homeland is not something to whom the fact of your
being in service is made a flag. It is our obligation to serve. In
other words, it turns out that the Karabakh movement did not reach its
goal, but serves the goals of the individuals and personalities. It's
a very bad situation and a very sad situation.
However, it does not mean we should separate Armenia-Karabakh,
Armenia-Diaspora. We have one nation - ill-fated and scattered around
the world. Today, it is a sad situation when the Turks declare, "What
Armenian diaspora; they have gone from our country, it is ours. Today,
Azerbaijan says that Karabakh belongs to it. In other words, we are
constantly fighting to say that what we imagined is ours. This is a
tragic situation. When there is a problem of a nation, we must forget
the people who have made the Karabakh movement a flag, who make the
Karabakh movement serve their person. We have to forget it."
