A nation cannot survive when its leaders serve the enemy

Yes, Armenia today stands on the edge of disappearance …
not only because of external enemies, but because of the traitors within: a ruling clique that from day one has served the interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Defeat did not come from the enemy’s drones or weapons on the battlefield, but from within. Nikol and his circle’s so-called “Velvet Revolution” was a deception …
a calculated plan that, day by day, dismantled our army, stripped our dignity, divided us to black and white and extinguished our national spirit.

After seizing power, this group did not serve the Armenian nation — they served foreign masters. Their true goal is simple: to please Turkish and Azerbaijani interests and to stay in power at all costs.

Every step, every agreement, every propaganda effort has served those two aims. They destroyed the army, discredited our strategists, and now silence anyone who dares to speak the truth.

What governs Armenia today is not a legitimate government, but a gang of cowardly traitors that has become a dictatorship over its own people — ruling through lies, fear, and police repression.

They claim they want “peace,” yet their version of peace is a pact of surrender — bought with new maps, new concessions, and new Armenian martyrs.

They remain silent when Aliyev calls Yerevan “Western Azerbaijan,” when he promotes religious hatred, and when he insults our fallen heroes.
Even worse, there are those among us — Armenians who, through silence or indifference, become accomplices to this shameful and dangerous course.
Every silence, every shrug,
every “I’m tired of politics” ,
“I don’t get involved in politics “
becomes silent approval of betrayal. When a nation refuses to rise and defend its dignity, the door to its destruction is already open.

This is no longer a mistaken government. This is collaboration.

Today, the struggle is not only fought on our borders it is fought in our schools, our media, our churches , and our political ideologies.
They seek to destroy everything that makes us Armenian, but we will not allow it.
We will not be silent.
No nation can survive when its leaders serve the enemy.
The Diaspora and the Homeland must stand together — not to beg, but to demand.
To demand our land, our honor, and our soul.

We need to Rise up. We owe it to ourselves to reclaim our truth, our dignity, and our Armenian name.
