For me, it is more alarming actuality threatening the security and prospects for well-being of our people. The Diasporan Armenians should stop supporting or making investments to the unpopular, unelected, illegitimate regime of Robert Kocharian, a provincial Karabakhi who has installed himself to presidency not being even a citizen of Armenia. If Serzh Sarkissian, another provincial, is “elected” as a result of vote-rigging, the same rejectionist policies on part of the Diasporans should apply to him.

The present, naturally, bears more weight than the past. This is not to say that the past should be forgotten or efforts for genocide recognition should be stopped. Of course, not. But the Diasporan Armenians need to understand that it is the will of their co-ethnics in Armenia, living under the unbearable burden of narrow-minded, self-centered, semi-literate rulers and their Mafiosi clans that matters. The threat of de-population, de-moralization and impoverishment of people that continues today in Armenia as a result of careless, ignorant policies of the rulers is, to me, more important to address.
