"The Armenian dream in the 21st century has become not to create something, but to be saved by someone;" Hakob Badalyan

Political commentator Hakob Badalyan wrote on his Facebook page.

"The surprising thing is that even after Prigozhin's act of "instant rebellion," people are trying to convince the Armenian public that Putin is being destroyed, his end has come, Putin's Russia is collapsing, etc.

Let's leave aside what cataclysms these destructions and collapses can threaten Armenia and Artsakh with. It makes no sense to discuss these questions with those people and the fans of these "theses." A "philosophy" works there: Putin will disappear, and Armenia will be saved.

When anyone dares to doubt that Putin or Putin's Russia will collapse, destroy or disappear, he is immediately declared an enslaved Russian, pro-Russian, Russophile, agent, etc., etc., you know. Whether we like it or not, Putin must stay or be gone.

But the Armenian society is getting used to that way of thinking, to that life philosophy: our salvation is not to be smarter than any problem, enemy, or challenge, but the disappearance of the enemy. A geopolitical knight on a "white horse" will come, cut off the heads of our enemies, and set us free.

When a simple question or a simple doubt is raised, friends, what if it doesn't come, and if nothing happens to Erdoğan or to Putin and Putin's system, then do we have anything to do? Do we have something to do? Do we have something to live for? Do we have a way out, a way, solutions in that case, or should we kneel, curse Putin and Putin's Russia, make it a measure of geopolitical wisdom and independent heroism, and look with wide closed eyes? Away, because that liberating "knight" will come, cannot fail to come.

There is no direct answer, but the indirect answer is the second option because it is the easiest option, and whoever doubts that the geopolitical research knight will come on a "white horse" let's destroy him because he hinders the Armenian dream.

And so, I don't know when, but step by step, in a steady process, the Armenian dream in the 21st century has become not to create something but to be saved by someone.

These profound, conceptual issues should be discussed by political, economic, cultural, scientific, and military elites. Whatever they were, Armenia would not have reached its current state.

And will they be able to significantly transform the course of the state and the public philosophy of life? At least it's not visible for now."
