Life has been so depressing lately. I have gone through a bewildering array of moods over the last two months. Before the war, I almost always saw myself as a globalist who loved those parts of his Armenian identity and history that he had selectively weaved into his situational present. I identified with things, states of mind, and people who were in-between, liminal, neither this nor that. In-betweenness for me was a metaphor for the Armenian condition. Armenians, at least the ones I studied and admired, were the quintessential “people of the threshold.” Like them, the space that was intersectional was my home. I carried it with me as I traveled. On September 27 when the war broke out, I began to feel less and less the need for in-betweenness in my life. 20 November, 2020 21:37 Multiple Ministers Sacked As Part of Government Overhaul ✓The Minister of Defense has resigned.

20 November, 2020 17:19 Armenia’s Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan Replaced in the Aftermath of Defeat in Karabakh Armenia’s Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan dismissed from his position in the fallout over the Armenian defeat in the war over Nagorno-Karabakh.

20 November, 2020 08:40 Armenia's leadership was unprepared for war, ex-army chief says The biggest reasons for Armenia’s defeat in the war were lack leadership and lack of knowledge about the war among those in the government, Colonel-General Movses Hakobyan, who stood down as head of the Defense Ministry’s military control service, told reporters Thursday.

"Our military mobilization was not successful and the head of the country is responsible for it, the Minister of Defense, the military commissariat, the Minister of Territorial Administration,” Hakobyan said.

He also criticized shortcomings in military readiness, saying defense officials purchased Russian fighter jets without the necessary missiles, which meant they couldn’t be used in the war. The country also took delivery of obsolete air-defense missile systems, he said. 20 November, 2020 06:03 Hate Excreted by War By Houri Berberian

I made several attempts to write this reflection. Of course, first, a paralysis set in. Finally, when I could say something, I felt that it would be too trivial in the face of the horrors unfolding before us. But I did regain the confidence in my voice largely through conversations in and outside of class with young students for whom the history we were studying had come alive in all too familiar and ominous ways and for many of whom this war was/is a profoundly intimate and personal matter.

My initial attempts to jot something down were more academic and less personal. Perhaps this is because my scholarly work and my academic and professional life have tended to be safer spaces for me where I can safeguard my fairly well-hidden (although now exposed) introvert tendencies and pursue my high regard for privacy – both mine and those of others. Of course, the war has made the separation difficult – if not impossible.
