Armenia’s opposition Homeland Salvation Movement continues to release videos telling about the political activity of the coalition’s candidate for interim prime minster, statesman Vazgen Manukyan.
In 1974, Vazgen Manukyan and his supporters launched an initiative called "Feasts of the Translators", which united the entire Armenian intelligentsia. The gatherings of the initiative were attended by the most influential people of the time, the video report said.
Their goal was to create a national club that would allow intellectuals to get to know each other better, communicate with each other, discuss issues in an informal atmosphere and unite around national ideas. When the Karabakh Liberation Movement started in 1988, they realized how important those gatherings were. The intelligentsia immediately united and took action, it noted.
