Only a generation that will be ready to sacrifice itself for the
sake of future generations can change the present political and
socio-economic situation in Armenia. Otherwise we would live without
any crucial changes, ARF Dashnaktsutyun MP Ara Nranyan said at today's
press conference.
A generation realizing that all men are mortal but desired to build
a state appeared in all developing countries. Nranyan named Bismarck
as a person who built a strong state uniting small German countries,
Garibaldi in Italy, Cromwell in England. According to him, there is
no pattern when such generation may appear, but national states are
formed when the generation comes forward.
"We had such generation in 1918-1920, unfortunately external factors
did not let the First Republic survive. However, I do not want to
link it with the factor of a party. That generation was carrying on
national liberation struggle, they knew the price of freedom, realized
the importance of a national state. The generation that came to scene
in 1918 could create a national state, but we had no ruling political
force with such ideology after country's independence. We missed this
period and started building a state with a different value system.
Unfortunately, present generation is that of materialists and ruling
political elite testifies to this," Nranyan stated.
