    UNDERMINING IDEALS POSES SERIOUS THREATS TO OUR VALUES - ARMENIAN POLITICIAN

    11:30 * 11.09.13

    A former activist of the Karabakh committee, Ashot Manucharyan,
    has expressed concerns over continuing attempts of discrediting the
    national heroes who fought for the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh in
    the 1990s.

    According to him, such attempts are made first of all by the foreign
    forces that determine the global policies today.

    "It is the enemies of Armenia that stand behind the entire process
    aimed at blackening the freedom-fighters' path. The problem is not
    absolutely the fact that the same generals or politicians may really
    say something wrong; the important thing is that it receives a media
    coverage, which means their financial support comes from abroad in
    an attempt to thoroughly discredit our victory and our generals,"
    the politician told Tert.am.

    Manucharyan was concerned to note that the discrediting reports
    in online news sources and the social media often breed skepticism
    among the youth, undermining national ideals. Such policies, he said,
    are aimed at erasing the youth's memory about their home country
    and national heroes in an attempt to facilitate what he called the
    foreign forces attempts to gain control over the younger generation.

    "This is Á big act of sabotage, and I feel sorry that the
    government-controlled media give way to that. That means they also
    have people who have lost their heads because of money and power,"
    he said, considering such policies very dangerous for the state.

    Asked whether it is possible to point to specific facts instead of
    discrediting a general or a marshal, Manucharyan answered, "It is,
    of course, possible to bring facts to present all this, but before
    reaching the facts, it is necessary to simply realize that what
    happened during the liberation struggle in Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh]
    was due to our nation's fantastic power, its most amazing character.

    That's something like a song, something like a symphony or epic."

    Manucharyan said he believes that the major driving force behind the
    attempts to spoil and misinform public is only money and power. "We
    will endlessly tell lies because the only question now is how to
    maintain power and money," he added.
