The year 2023 was undoubtedly a challenging one for the Armenian people. However, amidst this difficulty, there are those among us who have managed to remain untouched by its hardships. These individuals eagerly anticipate the arrival of the New Year and Christmas festivities, bringing an unusual situation that neither exudes joy nor sadness. It is important to note that we do not seek to provoke or pass judgment on those who simply yearn for peace and happiness.

We also understand the weighty responsibility that falls upon our authorities to provide sustenance and entertainment, all the while ensuring that the memory of Artsakh, our martyrs, and heroes remains ever-present in our minds as we navigate through ongoing crises. Humans are distinct from animals because they possess the incredible ability to remember. Nothing is forgotten. It is through this collective remembrance that tears eventually dry up, the battle persists, and ultimately in 2024, we find solace in rediscovering our lost souls and embrace the creation of a joyous future.
