“About this phone tax...” (Open letters, Declaration-protests, Talks & interviews)

“Hello Edgar.”
”Hello Sako.”
“How are you?”
“I'm well.“
“Why weren't you at class, Sako?”
“Oh, I just didn't feel like it. Did anyone talk about me?”
“No, but we were sad.”
“What for?”
“Because we had to take an English test and you weren't there to help us.”
“So tell me how you did.”
“Oh, I did alright.”
“So, who did Vardanian hit?”
“No one yet, but it's your turn.”
“But I haven't done anything wrong.”
“That's why he'll hit you, because you haven't been to his class.”
“I will get out of it.”
“Vardanian was very angry.”
“Maybe my absence means a lot to him.”
“Ok, don't talk so much, this phone call costs by the minute.”
“If you really want to know Edgar, we do not pay for our calls.”
“Even better, let me tell you what homework we have.”
“Alright, but be quick, I'm in a hurry.”
“Ok, call later and I'll tell you.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”

“Question-Answer” (Youth & Peace)

I would reconcile all the nations and countries with one another, if I were given the planet guard. Not only people, but also plants and animals suffer as a result of wars. Many of them never come to the places where war has once been.
People burn miles of forest, make vast territories look like deserts. Who is responsible for the nature? Aren't we? After all, why should women, children and the old spend their lives hiding in basements, forests? They don't participate in wars but why should they die being unable to resist all the deprivations. Why should children lose their fathers and cry all through the night burning with desire to see them? Why should there be war and not peace? Questions are easy to understand, but will there come a day when answers would also be simple and acceptable?
