THE MECHANICS OF BLESSING
Tigran Avetisian
Aravot, Armenia
Oct 24 2006
We should say from the beginning that what we are going to speak
about has no connection with any version of national anthem. Those
discussions have already been made, and it won't be serious to speak
about it in the context of newest developments round the RA anthem.
We'd like to speak about the sad reality that not only political
elections are falsified. Everything is falsified in Armenia, which
has a remote connection with "election" or "contest" concepts. The
best proof of these words is the fact that Aram Khachatrian's written
music for the ASSR epoch won in the contest. Nobody was surprised at
when the commission, which approved Tigran Mansurian's melody suddenly,
changed its mind and "chose" Aram Khachatrian's melody.
While it has no connection with the soundness.
There is only an answer, it isn't interesting in our reality, and
unfortunately it has a lot of explanations. Now it isn't essential
what the commission members got for that selection. Though it is
unpleasant to think that that the commission may vote with the same
criteria for the most valuable music of the world and for example,
Natasha Koroleva's song.
The essential is that next important attribute of our state after
Constitution, the national anthem is devaluated. I should also
mention that I wouldn't stand up for the anthem, which was selected
in that way.
