The contemporary Armenian songs lack content and precept. In spite of
it, part of the society likes them, renowned singer, composer Ruben
Hakhverdyan told a news conference today, adding that the uneducated
part of the society, which unfortunately forms the majority, likes
these songs.
“Being educated and getting good upbringing is the main guarantor of
creation of normal culture in the society,” Ruben Hakhverdyan said.
According to him, there are hundreds of music critics the general
knowledge of who does not have any value and the latter can neither
analyze the art of music nor have a right to criticize it.
“For the development and reinforcement of our culture we first of
all need to have strong Ministry of Culture which must spread its
influence not only on cultural but other important fields as well,”
Ruben Hakhverdyan said, noting that the Armenian people have lost
the cultural line of their life, way of life starting from wedding
ceremonies ending with funeral traditions.
