Gagik Ginosyan: There is no difference, I beat my child at home or outside. (video)

The draft law on Prevention of Domestic Violence was discussed at the “Tesaket” Press Club today. What dangers does it represent? Why has the big noise raised over the bill?

Speakers of the debate are Gagik Ginosyan, head of the artists of the “Karin” traditional song and dance ensemble, ethnographer Svetlana Poghosyan, Sedrak Mamulyan, Chairman of the Armenian Culinary Traditions Development and Preservation NGO, and singer and composer David Amalyan.

Svetlana Poghosyan said that European societies had a serious problem, we might be careful. “By copying European projects, we will make a very serious mistakes.”

“They ruined the educational system, destroyed the culture, they accepted it with pain that when a child is brought up, then you should enter sacred sanctuary,- said Gagik Ginosyan.- From this point of view, their actions are logical. There is no difference, I beat my child at home or outside.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
