Today, as our independent statehood stands before an existential threat, the truthfulness and integrity of political movements are of vital importance. When you pay people to take to the streets to display your movement’s supposed strength, you are not building a movement—you are creating an illusion. You are not raising a people, but hiring a crowd. And that is betrayal. Betrayal not only of the people, but of the very soul of the nation. Because a true movement is born of pain, conviction, sacrifice, and love for the homeland. And when you reduce all that to a few thousand drams per protester, you mock the rebellious spirit of the nation. You are lying not only to the public—but first and foremost, to yourself.

Paid protesters do not bring loyalty. They do not awaken spirit; they do not nourish patriotism. These demonstrations are hollow, false, and short-lived. And when the money runs out, the movement evaporates. Real national movements are built on honor, vision, and blood—not money. Our heroic ancestors did not perish so that the state they forged with their blood would become a pitiful show. They died for truth, for land, for dignity. So that one day, a type of Armenian would rise—not one who sells himself, but one who stands up to fight because silence had become a crime.

If your movement cannot unite people without handing out money, then you have no movement. You are the embodiment of deceit and cowardice. And if you are already willing to buy crowds just to show fake strength, imagine what you’ll be capable of when you gain real power.

True strength cannot be bought. A righteous struggle is not built on a hired audience. Its power comes from within—from high principles, unshakable faith, and unbreakable will. The one who can attract people with his idea will withstand all the tests of time. But the one who gathers a crowd with money—his “power” will scatter in the very first storm.

Let others try to buy loyalty. We will awaken our nation and raise our Fatherland to its feet through the most honorable path.
