In 1988, Armenia was more independent than it is today. Today,
we have formal and shaky independence, and it is a serious threat,
says Ashot Manucharyan, a member of the Karabakh Committee.
“We must learn lessons from the history and rely on ourselves. Our
primary objective must be the unification of world-scattered
Armenians. At that time, the entire world will run after us as hardly
you can find a world leader who does not have an Armenian relative
or friend, or a country where Armenians do not their essential role,”
he said.
Ashot Manucharyan says everyone who has made fortune and stays in power
will become a traitor. The hatred people feel towards oligarchs has
reached its climax. He underlines that young people hold a different
opinion about the defense of frontline and hostilities.
“They say, “Why should I take up arms and protect the wealth of
oligarchs? If I am to take up arms, I shall first of all deprive
oligarchs of their property,” said Mr Manucharyan.
