Honorable Mr. President of the Republic of Western Armenia,
Esteemed Madam Prime Minister of the Republic of Western Armenia,
Esteemed Madam President of the National Assembly,
Honorable Members of the National Assembly,
On the occasion of this important day, I would like to share my reflections without delving too deeply into them.
We are Armenians, we are indigenous, yet most of us are not where we should have been, and we are not as numerous as we should be today. However, regardless of how many we are or where we are, we share the same mission: the establishment of justice on the foundations of truth and love. Our goal is noble and universal, because we possess great spiritual potential.
We have many means at our disposal to achieve noble goals. The most important one is hidden within us, waiting to be discovered. It is divine raw material that must be cultivated in order to lead us toward transformation. The primary factor, or prerequisite, is our self-purification and the elevation of our human qualities.
There is no problem that cannot be solved.
And what day is today? One hundred and six years ago, on August 10, 1920, the Treaty of Sèvres was signed and became one of the most important documents of international recognition of Armenia’s independence and territorial rights. To this day, it continues to remain one of the principal foundations for the restoration of the just rights of the Armenian people.
Therefore, it is in our hands to make use of such a means while always keeping our consciousness focused on the noble goal.
We can acknowledge that Armenians do not have a unified approach toward such an important foundation. The Treaty of Sèvres is sometimes even subjected to ridicule and mockery, presented as an example of irresponsible patriotism and adventurism, described as a provocation, and so on.
There is also the opposite side, which frequently speaks about the Treaty of Sèvres and “Wilsonian Armenia,” decorates the wall of its room with the corresponding map, yet at the same time lacks a noble idea and remains far from initiating any process toward a solution.
Why is this so?
We can say that the existence of the present-day Republic of Armenia, its people, and the ideas formed around it confuse public opinion and the thinking of unstable individuals. However, the main reason is a lack of awareness—a failure to understand the meaning of life, the nation, and the homeland.
Fortunately, the Armenian people also have a principal foundation. It is the State of Western Armenia—the legal continuation, under international law, of the Republic of Armenia recognized in 1920.
The State of Western Armenia is capable of following the path of truth, accurately analyzing issues and moving forward through correct steps while preserving the noble idea: the establishment of justice on the foundations of truth and love.
By becoming a citizen of Western Armenia, every Armenian can participate in the path toward justice that is already underway.
