Effective Mechanisms to Fight Against Eternal Enemies, Says Davit Babayan

The Foreign Minister of the Republic of Artsakh, Davit Babayan, made a post on his Facebook page highlighting the importance of combating eternal enemies.

“Yes, the Armenian people are a great people, and every great nation possesses both significant virtues and notable vices. In international politics, there is a well-known phrase: ‘There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests.’ However, there are indeed eternal enemies. These are concepts such as the degradation of values, selfishness, greed, the absence of patriotism, and contempt for national values, among others.

Throughout our history, all prominent representatives of the Armenian people have thought about how to rid ourselves of these vices. The first step is to analyze their thoughts. Effective mechanisms to fight these eternal enemies include faith, patriotism, and professionalism. These values must be cultivated from childhood and maintained at the highest levels of governance. It is both easy and difficult, but a society where patriotism and professionalism are not fundamental value components is doomed.

Naturally, it is necessary to always feel the delicate line and avoid obscurantism in every possible way, which requires a harmonious synthesis of healthy traditionalism and progressive advancement,” Babayan wrote.
