I was born in Armenia, but I’m a future emigrant.
Unfortunately, now Armenia is in a very difficult situation, because we are the losing side in the war. Armenia is remote, the economy isn’t doing good, there’s a war with Azerbaijan going on, we are very poor, our neighbors are enemies. But no matter how bad we were, we always are and always will be as history shows.
Yes, I like living here, I love Armenian water, air, sun, but I’m not a patriot, I’m not going to live here all my life. I have no homeland country, my homeland is planet Earth, but no place is perfect. It doesn’t matter where I live, I want to surrounded by people whom I love and who loves me. I love Armenia without people. You ask why? I think before the Armenians were the best nation, hospitable, kind-hearted, loving, but what now? What I see? Their are hating each other. I don’t want to live where evil prevails, where people betray and stitch up each other. Unfortunately, there is no place on the planet where only good reigns. I want to live in a good world, why don’t I live in a fairy tale?
Leave or not to leave Armenia? Everyone thinks differently, everyone has their own opinion. Go where you want to live, go where you feel happy. Choose your place, your place on this planet. I think that not all people are born in their place, for example, I don’t think that this is my place. Everyone has the right to live wherever he wants. To be honest, if it were possible, I would be living on another planet. People on this planet spoil everything and destroy good. Please take me to a place where there are no people.
