When your fantasy becomes true!
Science teach us that _nothing_ is absolute. Nothing is certain. Human beings tend to rely on things that wouldn't change. Believe, love and hope. Three things that helped our race survive for millenia. We all tend to find that thing that is absolute to us, that we don't doubt, and can't break. We try to find that in our friends and the ones we love.
Security, I'm talking about. And a secure life is what everyone seeks. Secure jobs, family and future. And when you have it, you can't give it up. You don't dare to. Until it's history!
The Soviet Union was all that for "it's people." The "Mother Country," as a lot like to call it, was invincible, or that's what they thought. 15-20 years ago no one would have listened to you if you have talked about "Free Armenia," it was an illusion that would never come true, a fantasy that people forgot about. People had jobs before graduating from school, had to go to schools by law. One had to finish school, get his job and get married. Life was simple, at least the way they knew it. It's no longer the same, people have to cope with that.
The ones that can't, are gone already, they left their homes and lands. An enormous amount of people with their families left their homes, from Ukrain, Armenia, Georgia... to Europe and the US, and Russia is not an exception. That was the case with most, but not all. Some have higher principles, and believes. For some, his home is his family and friends. And they are the ones that fight for it.
My Russian-language teacher, a true Armenian, likes to remind everyone of our history. Not the one that is hardly 80 years old, no, not the one that every corner of it is corrupted with a foriegn mark. She talks about Great Armenia, Cilicia and our ancestors. She talks about Gesaria and it's people, Van and Bolis. And above all, she talks about Armenian art and culture. Musicians, artists and scientist, among others, that were and are proud to be Armenian, just like her.
