GREATEST THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY OF ARMENIA – DEPRAVED SYSTEM OF
VALUES: LEADER OF SOCIAL FORCES
YEREVAN, JULY 27. ARMINFO. Within the last 10 years the system of
values has radically changed in Armenia: self-affirmation through
wealth is appreciated today instead of wisdom, intellect, creative
abilities. Secretary of the Political Council of the Union of
Socialist Forces Ashot Manucharyan made this statement at a seminar
“External and internal threats to the national security of Armenia”
today.
The persons responsible for observation of the law and defensive
capacity start thinking of wealth more than of their obligations. As a
result, the state apparatus bring new challenges instead of
counteracting them, Manuchyaran thinks. The social-economic problems
will be solved immediately after Armenian people return to its “real”
system of values. He brought the example of Israel which has been
fighting for 50 years, but keeps prospering. “T here is only one
phenomenon in Armenia which Israel lacks, i.e. thieving and hence all
the other differences,” Manucharyan said.
He intends to solve Karabakh problem through moral revival. In case of
more perfect system of values of the ruling elite and mobilized
public, the task number one of Armenia will become protection of the
infringed rights of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan who have a right
to settle the fate of the lands nearing Karabakh to compensate their
apartments in Armenikend in Baku with new housing in Aghdam.
To support his viewpoint, he brought the events of 1988 in Armenia
which, in his opinion, were spiritual revolution and return to the
real system of values. It explains the fact that Armenia is the only
post-Soviet republic having no territorial losses, Manucharyan thinks.
