When Odysseus returned home and saw how the uninvited and freeloading guests were exploiting the wealth of his house, dishonoring the members of his home, and corrupting his household with their vile manners, he did not try to change their behavior or politely ask them to leave. Instead, he endured,

Pro-Russians support the November 9 declaration and oppose the August 8 agreement, while pro-Westerners support the August 8 agreement and (not all of them) oppose the November 9 declaration. But pro-Armenian nationalists reject both documents, because both are humiliating and anti-Armenian. They no

By the call of destiny, I decided to enter politics, because Armenia — standing on the brink of destruction — deserves a political leader who does not sell out and does not make compromises to fill his pockets or become a little more famous. It deserves a political leader who stands outside and full

What Nzhdeh dreamed of, we bear the responsibility to bring to life, and we are confident that we can do it, because the blood of Hayk Nahapet, Tigran the Great, Ashot the Iron, and yes—also of Nzhdeh—still flows in our veins. We have not lived and fought for millennia against tyrannies and enemies

Five years ago today I arrived at the Martakert military base in Artsakh, and we were preparing to move up to the front lines. I missed the April Four-Day War, but at least I was able to take part in the Forty-Four Day War, although I was prepared to participate in a Four-Year War as well, because I

Volunteering for war and going to the front line is not automatically heroism — it is a duty. Not every soldier standing at the border is a hero, just as not every athlete who takes part in the Olympic Games is a champion. We must not devalue heroism or the word “hero.” Heroism is measured not simpl

Since childhood—when other kids, and later my classmates, dreamed about nice cars and luxurious houses—I, as a patriotic Armenian from the diaspora, dreamed of becoming a freedom fighter for Armenia. Just as our freedom fighters liberated Artsakh, I too wanted to take part in the liberation of Nakhi

The global economy is heading toward collapse, and this is inevitable in this era of greed and speculation, where people have been lured by false promises of “quick money” without effort. No matter how much they try to increase investments in our country or develop tourism, nothing will change. Our

We, the Tseghakronists of the new generation, stand as revolutionaries in a world that will test us at every step. With every trial we endure, we will come forth stronger, more determined, and more unyielding. Our will shall become firmer, and our faith—unshakable. Nzhdeh said: “Nothing is impossi

Over the last 200–300 years, because of Russian policy, a miserable, servile and infamous saying has spread: “either the Russian boot or the Turkish yataghan.” But in reality, by appealing to the Russian boot, we have only brought ourselves closer to the Turkish yataghan. Our movement’s stance on t

Thirty-five years ago we adopted Armenia’s Declaration of Independence, and one year later on this day we restored our independent statehood that had been lost for seventy years — but unfortunately it was built on deliberately wrong foundations. The traitorous neo-Bolsheviks operating in Armenia — i

The traitors may remove Ararat from papers and emblems, but they can never remove Ararat from the mind, heart, and soul of true Armenian patriots. They cannot take away from people like us the firm conviction that in this century Ararat will once again be ours. #This_Time_the_World

I will not sit at any “round table” with political forces I do not consider an ideological ally, nor will I “collaborate” with politicians who possess greater financial and material resources than I do, who only seek to swallow up my movement or use me as a puppet. That is simply out of the question

Following ideas has no value and means nothing if you don’t put in the effort to realize those ideas through consistent work. Movements like ours don’t spread like memes—sudden and fleeting. On the contrary, they grow like underground roots—slowly, invisibly, and then they erupt when the nation face

Today, when politics often turns into a game of interests, we are in need of a new knighthood, so that a political figure may act not as a temporary opportunistic player, but as a soldier of eternity—guided not by personal gain, but by Tseghakron faith. A knight is not only a warrior, but also the
