MANARIAN SAYS
YEREVAN, MARCH 19, NOYAN TAPAN. Involvement of artists in
proportional lists of parties is not accidental, as by making use of
them, parties attempt to gather more votes. RA People’s Artist Yervand
Manarian expressed this opinion at the March 16 meeting with
journalists. In his words, if an artist becomes anybody’s myrmidons,
he "stops being real artist."
Y. Manarian mentioned that he will not participate in any party’s
propaganda mission as the future majority at the NA is already
decided. "I have no expectations from our parliament as important
issues will in future as well be solved in the way they want," he
emphasized.
Y. Manarian expressed perlexity on the occasion of the fact that the
party created few months ago already has 300 thousand members: "What
an ideology they have that 300 thousand from the population of 3 mln
people are members of that party."
In poet Razmik Davoyan’s words, parties today have only one anxiety,
how to do to gather many votes. And the people follows the party which
promises it well-to-do future. "Our people today submits to everyday
promises and participates in the elections for a small repayment. My
wish is that the people keeps its dignity," R.Davoyan mentioned.
