Would You Go?

[Tiko310]

Considering the situation in Artsakh, a full blown war isn't too crazy to think about.

I want to know how many of you who are of age and even younger will go to fight? If fighting starts again, I know I will buy the first ticket to go there and help in any way.

Even if they do not need or will not let help, I will go to Armenia anyway and stay there in case they need any help at all. During the Karabagh war many people from here went and fought..like Monte! : )

Re: Would You Go?

It's easy to say one would go while in a safe place, but when you actually have an AK-47 in your hands, the enemy in front of you, men dying left and right, and you getting shot at, it's a whole other picture. When you realize your life can end right there, it is much different feeling. I like to say I would fight, but it's difficult to say for sure, I both love my country but I also love my own life.

Re: Would You Go?

Well put Mos, but I am sure I would go and fight although they wont let me fight till' I'm 18. I love my country but I look at my family and them struggling so that's kind of hard to answer but if I had nothing to lose I'd do it.

I would love to fight for my country.

Well the whole reason why we won is because we had men who didn't care about their own lives and they would be happy to lose everything they had if it helped them win.

But war is very unlikely start, even if does Karabakhtis (excluding Armenians) would defeat the Azeris. Why? because Azeri soldiers don't care about Karabakh, they are just forced to fight, Karabakhtis will give their life for their land. That is why we gave the Azeris, who had an army much bigger and advanced than ours, such a beating that we could have gone all the way to Baku. Also, Iran would help us because they hate Azeris and maybe Russia if Azeris go towards NATO. We're in good position now.

I'll go in a heartbeat.
Every Diasporan Armenian who can go, should...........remember there'll be a fair few from Hayastan getting on planes,trains & automobiles the other way.

Good point.
But what of your family who are alongside & behind you?
Brothers to fight with you, sisters to be protected. Every brave soldier is scared before battle, in battle and after battle.

Re: Would You Go?

yes, axpars tend to be much more nationalistic than hayastancis. In Armenia, there is great amount of cynisim towards the government and elite and many will do anything to go out of Armenia.

Հողը սուրբ է, դա շիրիմն է մեր նախնյաց,
Հողն է պահում օրօրոցը հայ մանկաց,
Հողը զգոն սաղավարտ է պահապան,
Դրանից վեր չկա ոչ մի, ոչ մի բան:

Հողն է ծնում հողն է պահում ազգերին,
Հողն է թաղում հող չպաշտող ցեղերին,
Հողը սուրբ է՝ եւ մատուռն է մեր ուխտի,
Հողը սուրբ է ու փարոսն է պանդուխտի:

Հերոսների արյան գինն է մեր հողը
Այդ արյունից էլ անգին է մեր հողը
Կայքից վեր է, կյանքից վեր է մեր հողը
Նախնյաց նվեր եւ պատվեր է մեր հողը:

Re: Would You Go?

It's a common mistake to assume that Artsakh is a separate entity and the war only affect Artsakh. Losing Artsakh will result in complete destruction and mongolification of my country. The prospect of that happening is horrendous and I wouldn't want to live at all if that happens. What are you going tell the foreigner when he asks you what's your nationality? 'I'm from an extinct country that used to be called Armenia, now it's populated by slant eyed seljuk filth' that's the most denigrating thing that can happen to me. Don't even doubt that I will interrupt my education to go and fight for the country and for my relatives, I have lots of relatives there. I don't want to be a rootless, homeless vagabond without a country begging foreigners to give me asylum because I was weak and couldn't defeat the inferior Asian seljuk scum. Even if you're afraid to go and fight you should coordinate your efforts and support the soldiers financially and morally.
