Edgar Elbakyan writes: "ON HAVING AN ALLY • Building an alliance, the same as gaining an ally, is an indicator of the depth of strategic thought of any state (especially a small one). If you are able to make successful alliances, then you are viable. In a large sense, this is the expression of the biological nature of man in the big politics.
It is no coincidence that in everyday speech, "Eddie doesn't really have 1 normal friend" is a social phrase, and "man with a large circle" is a compliment.
• Historically, the success of the Armenian political project has always largely been determined by effective alliance building, and its failure by "falling into the wrong environment". In order to build an ally, one must first define one's own interests accurately, and then demonstrate tactical flexibility without sacrificing strategic priorities.
• Once, the Armenian military-political elite showed such flexibility by accepting an officer of one of the "hamidie" regiments created by Abdul Hamid into the ranks of the Armenian army, and they were not mistaken. Also, thanks to that move, Armenia gained a strategic ally in the long term. Try to guess that we are talking about the hero, in whose honor there are also statues erected in Armenia."
