Armenian Preparliament member speaks of unprecedented achievements,
New Year table
15:59 – 31.12.13
In an interview with Tert.am, Preparliament member Zhirair Sefilyan
spoke of this year’s achievements and next year’s expectations.
He pointed out `unprecedented involvement’ of Diasporic Armenians in
Armenia’s domestic affairs.
`Armenians from the Diaspora have at least been involved in the
all-important developments inside Armenia,’ he said.
As regards his expectations about next year, Sefilyan is sure that `we
will be able to establish a founding parliament and to assume the
reins of government.’
`We are preparing for the New Year for our children’s sake. It is a
tradition to lay the table, but we had a different idea of the New
Year table. The table used to be set for 10-13 days, with most dishes
not of meat. Everything changed in the Soviet times. Later, ham came
into fashion. I think we need a revolution in this area as well,’
Sefilyan said.
