reblogged from One-Armenia:

Armenia faces a severe crisis of widespread violence against women and children. Due to the cultural and safety concerns of reporting violence, many women do not report violence and are often stigmatized for doing so. As a result, the Armenian government is able to deny the problem. Furthermore, Armenia currently has weak domestic violence laws and no law addressing sexual violence. Encouraging greater reporting and greater awareness of the problem is the first step to legislative advocacy and legal enforcement.

before the storm 1

Ահա թե ինչ եմ հրաժարվել: խոստումը ծերության, պոեզիայի, սիրո.
Ես չեմ ուզում մի բաժակ գինի.
Բան չկա, իր բյուրեղային խորքերը.
Իմ ափիոն խողովակը վնասվել է:
LSD չի բավարարում.
Քույր. Քույր. Քույր.
Սովորեցրեք ինձ ձեր ալքիմիա.
Ես ուզում եմ իմանալ, թե ինչպես պետք է կատարել մի մոռացկոտություն դեղ, օգտագործելով ձեր կույս-կաթ.
Երեկ ես կենդանի.
Վաղը ես կլինեմ մահացած.

.
Aqui está o que eu vou desistir: a promessa da velhice, da poesia, do amor.
Eu não tenho nenhuma necessidade de copos de vinho.
Não há nada dentro de suas profundezas cristalinas.
Meu cachimbo de haxixe está quebrado.
LSD não vai satisfazer.
Irmã. Irmã. Irmã.
Ensina-me a alquimia.
Mostre-me como fazer um elixir do esquecimento do teus moça-leite.
Ontem eu estava vivo.
Amanhã vou estar morto.

.
Here’s what I’ll give up: the promise of old age, of poetry, of love.
I have no need for a glass of wine.
There is nothing within its crystal depths.
My hashish pipe is broken.
LSD will not do.
Sister. Sister. Sister.
Teach me alchemy.
Show me how to make an elixir of forgetfulness out of your girl-milk.
Yesterday I was alive.
Tomorrow I’ll be dead.

painting by Jan Toorop,1858

Ըսէ ինծի՝ ե՞րբ եւ ո՞ւր հոգին մը հավերժ հիշատակին կին պիտի գտնէ. Ես ունեի մի քրոջը. Մենք տեսանք արյան ից Ղարաբաղ. Մենք խմեց են ցաւ ից Հրազդան գետ. Ես ունեի մի քրոջը. Նա կարող էր կրակում է սլաքը, եւ կսպանեն արեւի. Աստվածների թե լաց, երբ նա երգում էր նրան բանաստեղծությունները. Իմ լեռները սիրեց քույրս. Բայց քույրս մեռած. Ոչինչ. Ոչինչ. Ոչինչ.
.
Tell me when and where to find the soul of a warrior woman. I had a sister. We saw blood from Karabakh. We drank from the pain of the Hrazdan river. I had a sister. She could shoot an arrow, and kill the sun. The gods wept when she sang her poems. My sister loved these mountains. But my sister is dead. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

Do not love me as if I were a flower
I want to live a worthy life —
as if I were an atom in a mass of troubles
as a child of street mobs!

photo by Aros Martirosyan

Բագմաստի, ես կը փախչէի ողջ աստղերն, իսկ անապատը խոր. Որտեղ եք? Թէ մայրերը չլինէր աշխարհում, քույրերը, աղջիկներ ջահել, այս հինավուրց աստվածուհի պետք է անհետանալ, սակայն, դուք չեք կարող սպանել աստվածուհի.
.
Bagmasti, I fled across the stars and the deep desert. Where are you? If it were not for the mothers, sisters, young girls of the world this ancient goddess would disappear, but you can not kill a goddess.
