Garegin Nzhdeh about the envy of his princes

“Looking back at our history, we see that not a single dictator of the East has caused the Armenian people as much harm as the envy of armenian melik, prince and crown did.

…Yes, no external enemy has dealt a blow to our people as mercilessly as did some figures from the inside.

Denunciation, betrayal, fratricide – this is the result of envy, because of which the country of Armenians saw so much blood and tears ”.
