THE FORMULA OF VICTORY

In our reality, May has always been a month of victories: Avarayr, Sardarapat, Shoushi …
This seems to be the repeated regularity of our history, which coincides with the awakening of spirit and courage - a regular process characteristic of spring.
All this undoubtedly has a certain sense and logic: we have always held victories due to the awakening of such features and were defeated when they came to be replaced with other features, also characteristic of our nature.
Probably, the most important among them is that the elements of our organism have a peculiarity of pushing away one another. This peculiarity is characteristic of all the ancient nations and is also viewed as a sign of ageing.
The same phenomenon was observed, for instance, during victories held in May 1918 as well as the defeat suffered in autumn 1920. And the logic of such developments can be accounted for by nothing more than the existence of some chronic disease.
In May 1918, we were hungry, tired and poorly armed, and our enemy was incomparably stronger, but wee won. In autumn 1920, our army was properly armed and replete due to the help of Entente, while the enemy was hungry and weak, but we were defeated.
And today we are again in need of understanding and learning these harsh lessons. Perhaps, we are again pursuing the same path, not realizing the impending danger, because what happened after the victories of May 1992 did not contribute to the strengthening of our spirit.
In the present-day world, our traditional ideas about the physically armed victories become deprived of sense if they do not fit the general context of the new challenges. Heretofore, at least during the past 16 years following May 1992, these challenges seemed to us to be on the diplomatic or economic fronts.
But the reality is that the latter derive from the most important front existing at present, i.e. the front of intellect
Morality plus intellect – here are the main factors that may impart an on-going nature to the victories we have held in Sardarapat and Shoushi, because the modern world recognizes no weapon which might be more powerful than intellect.
