The war lasted 44 days, but its horrors continue to this day; Pashinyan proposes peace through concessions, whereas we will bring peace without concessions. — Samvel Karapetyan
"Dear sisters and brothers, six years ago—on September 27—the war unleashed by Azerbaijan marked the beginning of the most harrowing 44 days in our people's modern history.
We paid an immeasurably high price for that war: lives lost, the wounded, the missing, prisoners of war, a lost homeland, and thousands of Armenian sons—men whose bravery I had spoken of the very day after the war.
It was possible to save those young men's lives. Unfortunately, true to their nature, the decision-makers were concerned solely with saving their own skins. After the war, Nikol Pashinyan declared that the decision to halt the conflict could have earned him the label of 'traitor.'
This is no longer merely a matter of a political mistake." The country's leader grasped the magnitude of the impending catastrophe and the scale of potential losses; he possessed the state mechanisms to avert them, yet he failed to take decisive action, driven by fears for his own political future.
As a result, Artsakh was emptied of its Armenian population, and an entire generation of bright young lives was lost forever.
Dear people,
The 44-day war lasted 44 days, yet its devastating consequences persist to this day. Six years later, we face new losses, new concessions, and a new, anti-national agenda being imposed upon our state. The danger is twofold: the adversary shows no signs of stopping, while the person who prioritizes personal interests over the vital interests of the state continues to make decisions on our country's behalf. Pashinyan offers peace through concessions; we will bring peace without concessions. "And so, we must stand united and rally against any move that weakens our state, tramples upon our national interests, or could lead our country toward new catastrophes.
This is not merely an imperative; it is our duty to all those heroes whose names the authorities have still not released six years later—choosing instead to wage war against their photographs and remove them from the walls of buildings in Yerevan.
Incense and reverence to the memory of our martyrs.
Honor and gratitude to the heroes living among us today. Eternal glory to our heroes," he stated.
