Araratyan Patriarchal Diocese is concerned with the victory of
the Finnish ” Lordi” group at “Eurovision-2006,” which was singing
“Halleluiah” dressed in monsters’ costumes.
Participants of today’s discussion noted that the victory of this
group speaks about degradation of Europe and the trend of returning
to heathenism.
Votes in favor of the Finnish group were cast in most part by the
young and children. Armenian children were no less impressed.
Singer Hamlet Gevorgyan sees anti-educational and hidden anti-Christian
components in the performance of “Halleluiah” in monstrous masks.
Fr. Tovma Andreasyan considers that such choice at “Eurovision” is
the result of degradation of Europe and a proof that the world is
returning to heathenism.
“The performance of Finns cannot be considered a show,” said director
Arman Arakelyan.
Psychologist Mickael Hambartsumyan liked and watched the performance
of the Finns with great pleasure. According to him, the performance
should be considered a show solely, and to watch it does not mean to
step away from the Apostolic Church.
To note, the Finnish group also calls on the millions of “Eurovision”
viewers not to take their show too serious.
It needs to be noted that Armenian was one of the three countries
that gave no points to Finland.
