Hate is the Cruelest Boomerang: Naira Zohrabyan

BHk parliament member Naira Zohrabyan wrote on her Facebook page, “Hate is the cruelest boomerang.”

Yesterday, I was following the minister of the long-named ministry's pan-Armenian parental council. I will not discuss whether the minister's explanations were acceptable to me regarding educational new standards, national government, suffocating small children with masks, and the aftermath.

I was horrified by the flood of insults during the live broadcast — over 4,000 entries, the vast majority being insults and disrespect directed at the minister. And these were not coordinated fake accounts by state bodies or the My Step faction, but real people who did not restrain their rage.

By the way, if the state body does not have specific instructions, it does not connect its “trolls” in such cases. In this case, there was no apparent instruction, and we saw how, two years after the revolution, love and unprecedented trust transformed into such hatred.

I do not gloat because I consider insults a sign of absence of argument. I do not gloat, even though during these two years, you have systematically and consistently turned me and some of my colleagues into the targets of hate, unleashing the fake accounts and the Glendale-black-hole-type filth on us. I do not gloat, as I continue to insist that hate, malice, filth, and animosity dismantle any rational and adequate possibility.

But today you become the target of that hate and animosity, which you cynically and rudely directed at us and will continue to direct as long as you exist. From the moment the lexicon of insults and sewage became the tool to eliminate and silence all dissenters, you lost — because, no matter how irrational it may seem, hate and animosity have an inner rule: it is a cruel boomerang that returns on the one who unleashed it.

And tomorrow will come the moment when, even making the army of fake accounts the most combat-ready army in the region, you will not be able to stop the blow of the boomerang. And this is not about wanting or not wanting — this is, if you will, a logical law from which you cannot escape. At this moment, I do not even know how the issue of humanitarian corridors will be resolved so that you avoid retaliation from those whose families you have entered and continue to enter every day, causing great emotional pain to their children and parents.

As for educational standards and the 'new curriculum', there will be a next lesson.

P.S. Personally, I have never advocated for retaliation. You taught me to be patient. I calmly gather the facts based on which all those, including the My Step parliament members who coordinated and continue to coordinate this disgusting political war against dissenters, will be judged. I support a legal trial, which will inevitably take place.
