Ruben Vardanyan: We must act as if renewal were possible

During the recent phone conversation with his wife Veronika, businessman and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan, who is unlawfully detained in Azerbaijan, shared a thought inspired by Albert Camus’s “The Rebel” (1951):

“The future is uncertain, and there is no guarantee of renewal,” said Ruben. “Yet resignation is not an option. We must act as if renewal were possible — not because it is assured, but because to do otherwise is to choose death.”
