  • NKR: My weapon is my tree

    My weapon is my tree


    The man whose name is Alexan by nick-name "Occupant" sent a letter to
    editorial office of the newspaper "AA" in the town of Hadrout
    proposing...It'd be better to tell everything one by one. Let's get
    acquainted with Alexander Baghdasarian closer. "Occupant" means the
    ability to survive in any situation. Vladimir Narimanian who knows
    him well, began to talk with us and explained the meaning if that
    nick-name this way: it means that Alexan possesses the circumstances
    which is particular to him. When he lived in Crimea he was a
    photographer and was engaged in strawberry planting. His family was
    living better. When Artsakh National Liberation Movement began, he
    came back to his motherland with the family being sure that
    motherland's destiny can't be solved without him. But the profession
    of photographer wasn't needed here. So he had to change his
    occupation; he became a shoe-maker, a baker and those professions
    were very useful during those hard years for Artsakh after the war.
    Thanks to God, they weren't hungry. And what we saw in his garden was
    simply shocking. There were two year-old nice pine-trees and cypress
    trees there. And all of them were grown by Alexan. He was taught to
    grow different trees by a Russian forester-scientist Sergey
    Polyakovski who always said that our atmosphere is very good for
    growing those cultures. He did all that hard work lonely. But when
    the first trees were sold, family members became calmly, moreover,
    his sun began to assist him in that work. I'm a man who likes to
    read. How can you explain the fact that you do that work but not the
    professionals who are not less here in Artsakh? Alexan doesn't agree
    with this because there are many professionals who don't feel the
    main thing; they don't love the nature. That's why nobody thought to
    do this work. And the business which he began 7-8 years ago was
    prospering in his hands because he loves the nature endlessly. He
    emphasizes: "I'm a reader''. Before the beginning of the business he
    makes versatile studying, then he makes it a reality. This love came
    to him from his father, grandfather who knew the local forests as
    their finger tips. And they often took little Alexan with themselves.
    But are yesterday's and today's forests comparable? It was pleasant
    in forests in the past but now one is walking in unbearable silence.
    There are less of forest dwellers. And it's not only the result of
    the free busters' activity but also the consequence of cruel
    treatment with forest wealth. The ex-head of the forest preservation
    department of Hadrout province Vladimir Narimanian adds that the
    forests are cut with many hectares and nobody plants trees instead of
    them. Often not sick but healthy trees are cut making the whole
    forest sick. The animals are quite sensitive to all this and simply
    to our forest. Alexan says about it sorry. Our attempts to see and to
    photo the forest cutting failed. Night rain made forests' ways
    impassable, we were forced to return on half a way. Instead, we
    witnesses of free busters' crime. No, Alexan doesn't exaggerate, when
    he's deeply anxious with today's situation in forests; Vladimir
    Narimanian says. But he proposes to make real steps, to "repopulate"
    with pine-trees and cypress because the curing qualities of these
    trees are bigger for forests as well as for a man. Cypress taking
    roots deeper in the land absorbes water from the lowest strata due to
    which the land around the tree is not so dry during the drought as in
    the case of other trees. Ether oil running from cypress germ kills
    quality which assists to liquidate harmful germs in nearby territory.
    Alexan affirms that it's inaccidental that the everlasting green
    trees are planted around the health resorts. We must not forget among
    these frost resistant trees only cypress stands the drought. My
    seedlings proved to be viable. Why forest keeping department doesn't
    plant pine-trees and cypress in the forests? My seedlings proved to
    be viable, didn't they? Every year I sell more and more seedlings.
    Two years ago the "Karabakh-Telecom" company bought a big group of
    this kind of trees (for a sum of 6 000 000 drams, well-known
    charity-maker Levon Hayrapetian did it a year ago. Our army in every
    new period of soldier swearing buys seedlings which corresponds to
    the number of called up new soldiers for planting the tree by a
    called up soldier according to the tradition is a symbol of absolute
    devotion to the motherland. The more they buy seedlings, the more I
    present them in honour of Liberators due to their lives we live now
    in peace. My seedlings decorate facade administrative buildings,
    military units, hospitals and hotels. Why can't they live in our
    forest to be useful not only for people, but also for the forest. And
    what will happen if I sell these seedlings expensively? Only expenses
    for two-years work are included in the price of it. I don't spend
    money for seeds, my children and friends send it for me from Russia
    and the price of seedlings shows only my work. The planet of the
    Earth is one organism. Once Alexan watched on TV how the fire stormed
    in California devouring the thousands of hectares of precious
    forests. Listening about difficult consequences of the disaster crazy
    idea appeared in Alexan's mind (instandard thinking is specific to
    Alexan). During two years period he's ready to present state of
    California about 2 000 000 of seedlings. At first the people were
    laughing when I began to do this business. But Alexan didn't pacify.
    He's sure that the planet of the Earth is one organism and one part
    of organism is sick, it will with no doubt ifluence on the function
    of the other parts. World climate balance will be lost. And what can
    be worse than it? By his own proposal Alexan decided to go to the
    editing office of "Azat Artsakh" hoping that while Mr. Sahakian (the
    president of NKR) is the USA it's high time to speak about his
    proposal publicly. The United States help us to become economically
    developed country. Why cannot we help America with what we have
    plenty. I can present them not only everlasting green trees but also
    seedlings of Karabakh nut-tree which are quite worthy due to their
    different useful qualities. About the USA and its role in the world
    1. If we don't know what's taking place in Ethiopia, Indonesia or
    Japan, it's not big unhappiness. But not knowing about the superpower
    number one, about correct entity of the behaviour of chief "judge" of
    world conflicts whose military budget is equal to the budgets of all
    the countries of the world together it impermissible. The reason of
    my thoughts about the place and the role of the USA in the world was
    an event which was discussed widely and accepted a year ago by
    Armenian Government and society. We speak about the decision of the
    United States Government for granting 236 000 000 of USA dollars aid
    to Armenia within the program of "millenium challenges". But there
    was not any worthy gratitude to Washington for such generous aid. On
    the contrary, the fashionable and enjoyed topic continued to exist,
    to criticize the USA, to accuse the US for making evil actions on the
    Earth. But generally, Armenia is one of the countries which gets much
    aid from the USA, among which it's in the sixth place according to
    accepted aid per capita. US Congress Study Service estimated
    1992-2002 Armenia got more than 1.3 billions of dollars. 2. I'm not
    passionate supporter of the USA not paying attention to the
    democratic system of authorities organization, but to the majority of
    principles on the basis of which the whole American public organism
    is built. Why? Because they are anti-natural. But I'm supporter of
    naturalistic outlook. The outlook which rises from law governed
    nature in everything. That is when human-being is the part of nature
    he's obliged to obey the laws of nature. But the question here is
    about estimation of practicable policy of Washington, imagination of
    modern realities and about created problems and the ways for their
    solution. 3. It's unjust and unjust again to describe the policy of
    US as aggressive opposing to world's general interests as if the US
    was led by negative selfish motives. There's no country in the world
    which did not get essential material aid from US. From Europe to
    Africa. All post-soviet republics have got additional shares from
    Washington since their independence. But they don't stop complaining
    of the actions of the USA (with ground and without it). Some of them
    are high sycophants, some like puppies, the others claim calmly.
    Dignity and beauty were forgotten long ago. No republic among them
    will tell the USA "that will do, at last you're neither our uncle
    aunt, all the more, nor our mother or mother". On the contrary they
    will cry (like unsatisfied chickens), if they get something not
    enough. What's the interest of the USA? What do US demand instead? US
    demand only one. Don't live radically. Don't destabilize the world
    where life is comfortable for me. That's why you must live publicly,
    transparently, justly. It's American interest. It's not less. It's
    the security guarantee for the USA and the others. Because there will
    not be threat from such countries for the world. 4. Let's bring some
    facts and arguments for above written. From 1945 to 2006 the USA
    spent 3.2 trillions of dollars for keeping stabilization in the Near
    East. Economic and military help made up 850 billions of dollars for
    the states of the region. The same takes place in other regions of
    the world. For example, in Pyrenees, 1946-1965 years US financial aid
    to Portugal made up 516.7 000 000 of dollars. Today's Europe and
    Japan rose from post-war ruins due to American aid. 5. So, if the USA
    have the right to be the chief in the world. To be "a world
    policeman". Many countries want to see America in the role of social
    official philanthropist. It's impossible. The music is ordered by
    those who pay for it. The difference of the USA from the world,
    regional and other order-makers is in the question that he's safe for
    other nations because authorities of US are restricted in their needs
    and actions. They are restricted and controlled by the fairest, the
    most practicable Constitution and really acting public institutes. 6.
    This topic is wide. It must be looked through in complex with other
    Powers, their behaviour and actions. Today, we simply want to
    concentrate the attention on some facts. Reachable facts for their
    eyes and ears also to make the majority of our readers get into the
    habit of analyzing facts and events selfly, seldom, when they are
    essential.
