The Armenian actor, producer and art critic Edward Manaryan is
celebrating the New Year with his family.
`I recall he used to bring paper and pencils to me, and he is doing so
now,' Edward Manaryan's 49-year-old daughter Arpenik told Tert.am.
Mr Manaryan believed in Santa Claus. `I even recall that he brought us
presents in socks when I was a child,' he says.
`Our dream is a good and prosperous country. I would not like to take
our mistakes and problems of the past, lack of justice to the year
2013,' he says. If Armenia's justice system gains a firm foothold,
every person will live due to his or her God-given virtues without
causing trouble to others.
`Many people in our society have gained the moral right to believe in
Santa Claus because he bring good things, but, I am sorry to say, the
ones that have not this right have greater power,' Mr Manaryan says.
`We thought that if we built up an independent state everything would
be all right. But it turned out that we have both good and bad. The
bad are raising their heads now, but it will not last long,' he said.
Mr Manaryan calls for entertaining hopes because no state can make a
real state without a hopeful society.
`True, we are encountering difficulties and making our small state
even smaller, turning it into a city-state,' he says.
