We do not now know whether the Armenians who lived 2000 years ago viewed their actions from the perspective of our present interests, we do not know at all whether there was such a process of thought or not. But now we can do that, knowing the past, thinking not only about the present and the future, but also about the millennial horizon. Perhaps this is the turning point where the national ideology becomes a vital necessity, an institution of practical significance, when based on our past and present experience, we are facing the task of not only formulating what needs to be done today, but also sending such a fundamental message that would liaise between the future generations of Armenians and the Armenian who lived a thousand years ago.

Nikol Pashinyan added : "The European Court of Human Rights verdict on the case of [Azerbaijani army officer] Ramil Safarov [who had brutally killed Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan] clearly recorded and condemned the encouragement of the hate crimes being committed in Azerbaijan against Armenians. This verdict should define clear red lines for Azerbaijan, showing that not only Armenia and the Armenian people, but also the international community is standing beyond those red lines. Throughout its historythat is, in the last 100 years, Azerbaijan has been subjected to two major trials: in April 1920, when Azerbaijan lost the statehood it had acquired two years ago, and in June 1993, when Azerbaijan had re-approached the verge of losing statehood gained two years ago. These two trials for the statehood of Azerbaijan were conditioned by the war unleashed against Artsakh in both 1920 and 1991. It is clear that both in 1920 and in the early 1990s, Azerbaijan had overestimated its capabilities and underestimated the devastating effects of the war. In 1920, the loss of Azerbaijan's statehood gave nothing for us, Armenians. And more importantly, in 1994 weArmenia and Artsakh, were able to establish a ceasefire together with Azerbaijan, and put an end to the war and stabilize the situation in the region,"

Nikol Pashinyan added : "That is, [for Azerbaijan] it [the Artsakh peace process] is not a way to reach a compromise, but a way to gradually fulfill all its demands; it doesn't happen that way, and it won't happen. The negotiation process is not a concert by order with one or two intermissions; peace implies a willingness to make compromise and comprehensive solutions. Given this very willingness, I had put forward the formula according to which any resolution to the Artsakh issue must be acceptable for the people of Karabakh, for the people of Armenia, and for the people of Azerbaijan. This formula is nothing but a proposal to accept the possibility of compromise. By not accepting my proposal, the President of Azerbaijan does not accept any possibility of compromise at all. And so it is obvious that with such approaches, we cannot expect real progress in the negotiation process, especially when they are accompanied by threats of war, or direct or indirect territorial or historical demands against the Armenian people,"

Only under such circumstances can policies anchored on a belligerent tone be conventionally effective,"

Only in this case the policy that is based on these militaristic statements can be conditionally effective, but the Armenian people do not have a habit of perceiving especially the NK issue through the prism of fears”

We need to think of how we can have a reliable online voting system, the results of which will be as reliable as the results of the last parliamentary elections. I believe we need to look at this issue as an issue related to not only elections, but also state security because even if during the pandemic the government decides to hold elections in any case, many citizens will be afraid of getting infected with this or that disease and may be de facto deprived of their opportunity to exercise their civil rights.

The meaning of the term has changed over time due to various circumstances, events, and factors. We do not know what our compatriots meant by saying Armenian in the time of King Artashes, but we know for sure that they did not mean what we mean nowadays. We do not now know whether the Armenians who lived 2000 years ago viewed their actions from the perspective of our present interests, we do not know at all whether there was such a process of thought or not. But now we can do that, knowing the past, thinking not only about the present and the future, but also about the millennial horizon. Perhaps this is the turning point where the national ideology becomes a vital necessity, an institution of practical significance, when based on our past and present experience, we are facing the task of not only formulating what needs to be done today, but also sending such a fundamental message that would liaise between the future generations of Armenians and the Armenian who lived a thousand years ago. This is our vision of developing national identity and consciousness. National identity develops on the basis of our history, those positive and negative impressions we draw from past experiences, as well as on our vision of the future, which is organically connected with the past and the present,”

This verdict should define clear red lines for Azerbaijan, showing that not only Armenia and the Armenian people, but also the international community is standing beyond those red lines. Throughout its historythat is, in the last 100 years, Azerbaijan has been subjected to two major trials: in April 1920, when Azerbaijan lost the statehood it had acquired two years ago, and in June 1993, when Azerbaijan had re-approached the verge of losing statehood gained two years ago. These two trials for the statehood of Azerbaijan were conditioned by the war unleashed against Artsakh in both 1920 and 1991. It is clear that both in 1920 and in the early 1990s, Azerbaijan had overestimated its capabilities and underestimated the devastating effects of the war. In 1920, the loss of Azerbaijan's statehood gave nothing for us, Armenians. And more importantly, in 1994 weArmenia and Artsakh, were able to establish a ceasefire together with Azerbaijan, and put an end to the war and stabilize the situation in the region,"

The negotiation process is not a concert by order with one or two intermissions; peace implies a willingness to make compromise and comprehensive solutions. Given this very willingness, I had put forward the formula according to which any resolution to the Artsakh issue must be acceptable for the people of Karabakh, for the people of Armenia, and for the people of Azerbaijan. This formula is nothing but a proposal to accept the possibility of compromise. By not accepting my proposal, the President of Azerbaijan does not accept any possibility of compromise at all. And so it is obvious that with such approaches, we cannot expect real progress in the negotiation process, especially when they are accompanied by threats of war, or direct or indirect territorial or historical demands against the Armenian people,"

We need to think of how we can have a reliable online voting system, the results of which will be as reliable as the results of the last parliamentary elections. I believe we need to look at this issue as an issue related to not only elections, but also state security because even if during the pandemic the government decides to hold elections in any case, many citizens will be afraid of getting infected with this or that disease and may be de facto deprived of their opportunity to exercise their civil rights.
