HAZEL OF OUR INDEPENDENCE

How many generations dreamed about independence, how many people put their heads in the name of this idea, how many brave Armenian warriors served in other armies and dreamed of their army, to give their knowledge, experience and courage to the service of their own army. Now this dream has fulfilled.

While it is not so, as we would like, but even … the Scots who live better than the Brits, still are dissatisfied with their lives and striving for independence.

I often compare independence with the planting of hazel. People say – who plants hazel, doesn’t eat its harvest, since it gives harvest after many years… To this I’ll add that our tree we planted in a desert place, next door to people who do not like our tree. That’s why every day we have to water it and take care of it, we have to do this by the knowledge that we’ll definitely get the fruit. If not for us, then for our grandchildren – certainly!
