"Artsakh resistance not only becomes a powerful military force, but also a completely unexpected ideological challenge to the existing post-modern lifestyle in which the people are not people, the government is not a government. A lifestyle where the ideal person in peace is a one, who consumes and in harsh conditions, a person, who runs, a refugee.
That is why the world is frightened, it rubs its eyes, watching the smiling men who go to fight for their brothers, for their land, for the boy who was killed on the way to school by an artilleryman.
If the people of Karabakh fled, they would have likely be given a couple of German villages, they would wash their feet in Peter's Square in Rome.
But they did not run away. On the contrary, an Armenian millionaire pulls out his son of his comfortable Oxford University and sends to fight, and not to the elite unit, but right to the frontline under the Russian TOC 1. Because it is more important for him to have a son – a real man, and not a son - a leading economist.
I am very worried about Artsakh. I am very envious of Artsakh, where in the mountainous air there is such a thick meaning of life, that it can be eaten with a spoon, like a hot Armenian ʺSpasʺ" this was written by a Russian Denis Dvornikov on his Facebook page.
