Apo Sahagian is an Armenian musician and writer from Jerusalem. He volunteered in Artsakh during the recent war, after which he published an article entitled “Our Useless Diaspora, Our Future Armenia.” In it, Apo writes that although the diaspora was unable to be impactful in the war, there is a second chance for Armenians worldwide to participate in developing the country. For this, he believes they should consider moving to Armenia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
