There is a war in Karabakh. In any war, young people die - the gene pool of the nation. There are no statistics on the deaths during the current escalation of the Karabakh conflict, but in percentage terms it can probably be compared with the Second World War, when the number of deaths under the age of 20 reached 18%; at the age of 21-25 years - 22%; 26-30 years - 17.5%; 31-35 years old - 16.5%; 36-40 years - 12%; 41-45 years old - 8%; 46-50 years - 5%; over 51 years old - 1%.
What is Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan thinking as he sits in his luxurious office in the center of Yerevan, sending to certain death young people who have been bullied by the ultranationalist ideology imposed by politicians and journalists like Pashinyan?
Those who are under bullets today could live, study, bear children, work for the prosperity of the common homeland of Armenians and Azerbaijanis. But, as you know, "the fish rots from the head," and the people who have stood at the head of Armenia think in other categories.
Isn't it time for the Armenian people to start thinking with their own heads and stop believing in nationalist myths? Where is the valiant warrior, the son of Nikol Pashinyan, fighting now? Where does his Amazon wife shake her weapon? They are not on the battlefield. But there young people who are far from the "elite" fight and die. Their mothers, receiving funerals, arrange self-immolations, being unable to bear the death of their children. Who will answer to them? Who will answer to the resident of the Azerbaijani Ganja Teymur, whose 10-month-old daughter died in her bed at night during the shelling of the Armenian Armed Forces? A photo of a crying Teymur with a daughter's body covered in a white shroud in her arms has become a symbol of human losses and a symbol of the inhumanity of war in the 21st century.
Maybe it's time to change your mind? Is it worth it to defend the occupied territories with arms in hand, or is it still better to withdraw the troops from foreign lands, sit down at the negotiating table and put an end to 30-year-old aggression?
The wounds will not heal soon, but Armenians and Azerbaijanis are doomed to live together in the land of Karabakh, where they have lived side by side for centuries. True, for this it is necessary to stop pursuing a thoughtless inhuman policy of nationalism, at times bordering on fascism.
