Main takeaway: Pashinyan wants Armenia to just be an average European country like Slovakia or Lithuania. Forget about Artsakh. The sheer existence of an Independent Armenia is the end goal, and Armenia does not exist to achieve other National aspirations.
I just do not understand why he is talking about this in Armenian with Armenians. This is meant for the international community, we Armenians will never make this the baseline of what we want Armenia to become. Artsakh will always remain in our national consciousness and if we stay on the trajectory we are on right now, the day where we will be able to return to Artsakh will come in the next three decades. Maybe I´m being delusional but to me, theres only like three factors that determine at what point we will be able to return.
Pashinyan is around thirty years late with his rhetoric, Armenians now have a cemented concept of what the Borders of the third republic are supposed to be, and I really doubt that this will change.
Pashinyan elevates the discussion from emotional reactionary stance of crying (understandably) over our losses and tells the public to concentrate how we can move through this and get stronger. That’s my takeaway from his speech and I do agree with him on that. How we are going to run if we can’t even walk right now? The foundational mechanisms of a functioning society (that all the previous mandates have ruined over and over) have to be rebuilt and armenians in Armenia (not diasporans) need that asap.
