Free Homeland Is Not A Right But An Obligation – Garegin Nzhdeh

Nzhdeh’s ideas are relevant not only in wartime. The greatness of Nzhdeh lies in the national ideology created by him. Very often, we are artificially cut off from our past, but if we do not know our roots, it is impossible to create anything worthwhile. Only through national roots does a person come to universal humanity. There is no way to get along without Nzhdeh.

Never and nowhere without a spiritual homeland.

“Homeland. Love and respect for the memory of our ancestors; for our religion that is the heart of the race; for our native language that is the leaven of patriotism; for the oldest literature and art that are the life of the soul and the mind of the people, as well as the history of efforts to “strengthen the soul of the race and succeeding generations.

Blood and sweat spilled on the native land, the sword of Tigran Ashkharhakal, the ruins of Ani, the bow of Hayk, our pagan gods and temples, and our unshakable faith in Great Hope. Add all this together, reader, add all this together, and you will get a spiritual homeland.”
