SHOULD WE CHANGE THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OR NOT
Two parties that declared the independence of the Republic of Armenia
at two different times, Armenian Revolutionary Dashnak Party and
Armenian All-National Movement, are against the change of national
anthem. `They are symbols. We can change the colors of the flag and
choose more beautiful ones or even put out the animals from the
national emblem. We can make such artistic changes every 10-15
years. If there are no malicious intents in that, then it is just a
mistake. If there are any such intents, it is a different question,’
Kiro Manoyan, ARDP member told a briefing today. In his words, our
nowadays symbols form a firm connection with our first and second
republics.
All- Armenian National Movement member Hovhannes Igityan also said,
`the atmosphere and the compromise that we reached in 1990 and the
flag with which we went out to streets in 1988 are the symbols of our
national unity that should work.’/Panorama.am/
