We Needed Someone to Listen, We Warned Just a Month Ago: Karen Poghosyan

We needed someone to listen. We warned just a month ago: This was stated by Karen Poghosyan, Deputy Director for General and Operational Issues at the Scientific Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics, on his Facebook page, sharing a post from a month ago.

“Nightly reflections. The enemy was invisible, arriving almost instantly. A light breeze blew from the east, from China. The wind and the danger were not taken seriously by the people, and the invisible enemy, like a wicked sorcerer, suddenly spread its wings over the city, leaving everyone petrified in their homes.

A few courageous individuals, dressed in white coats, began to fight against the enemy with great difficulty, helping those who were petrified. They fought selflessly, leaving their families behind, confident that they would win and that people would return to life from their petrified state. The struggle was unequal and hopeless, but the individuals in white coats were persistent and intelligent. Slowly, with great difficulty, the situation began to improve, and glimmers of hope emerged.

However, the petrified citizens thought that the enemy had retreated and rushed out of their homes, filling the streets and public squares, starting to live as if nothing had happened. The individuals in white coats ran from one person to another, urging them to stay indoors, explaining that the fight was not over, asking them not to hinder the struggle to a victorious end.

But people would not listen, as if deafened, they celebrated and rejoiced. Meanwhile, the enemy was gathering strength… What happened next? Guess for yourselves. No, don’t guess, just stay home, listen to our pleas. The danger has not passed; let us fight, let us win, and then we will celebrate—even without us.

P.S. We are fighting together,” wrote Poghosyan.
