“Newspapers with declining circulations can complain all they want about their readers and even say they have no taste. But you will still go out of business over time. A newspaper is not a public trust - it has a business model that either works or it doesn't.”
“The world saw and understood that, when it comes to the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations, they have to deal not just with Armenia with its three million population, but with the ten million Armenians.

“The best defence [for a democracy, for the public good] is aggressiveness, the aggressiveness of the involved citizen.

It is not static. It is a process. It is the process by which democratic civilizations build themselves.”
“Even in the heat of a middlegame battle the master still has to bear in mind the outlines of a possible future ending.”
