Translator Armen Hovhannnisyan praised the Soviet rule in a debate
today saying, "Everything was clean then unlike now when everybody is
going down to the level of consumer." Hovhannisyan believes that the
state must regulate culture. Ruben Hakhverdyan, a renowned Armenian
singer, also criticized the present day culture, particularly pointing
out to the songs of Grisha Aghakhanyan. He believes that everything
was organized during the Soviet era, though he also admits "some
censorship was used against his songs."
