Intellectuals Are Desperate – Nikolay Tsaturyan

INTELLECTUALS ARE DESPERATE – NIKOLAY TSATURYAN

19:03 / 23.02.2015

An intellectual is a person with sensitive soul, he is on other
platform, Armenia’s people’s artist, theatrical figure Nikolay
Tsaturyan told at a news conference today.

In his words there are people with more sensitive soul than he, but
he cannot bear the atmosphere existing in our country. “When I turn
on TV and see who is talking on TV, what is being said I do not want
believe that they are ruling us. I do not want to leave the house as
the atmosphere outside is not clean,” he said.

Tsaturyan said today the intellectuals are in despair, they are sitting
silently as they feel that this is not their homeland. “The homeland
belongs to oligarchs, an oligarch is not a bad thing a rich person
may be engaged in politics but when a thumb force comes up you start
feeling bad. That is why the intelligence is not shining,” he said,
adding that the death equalizes all.

“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
