While some political parties in Armenia were discussing whether
PACE would suspend Armenia’s voting right, a group of intellectuals
of Armenia was concerned with the issue, and another group was
indifferent, said dramaturge Karine Khodikyan during a press
conference.
The intellectuals should have joined and should demand from the
officials to do everything to guarantee that Armenia would not
be suspended of its voting right, she said. "Unfortunately, the
intellectuals have not joined," said the dramaturge.
Film director Tigran Khzmalyan said that a group of intellectuals
wanted Armenia to be suspended of voting right. He said that world
needs intellectuals to hear the truth, if the intellectuals don’t
describe the true scene, then they are not needed.
K. Khodikyan said that Armenia is facing a real regress. "No citizen
of Armenia feels like real citizen of its country. We starve for
real citizens. In a democratic country citizens should feel like real
citizens of that country," she said.
