“Why should I take up arms and protect the wealth of oligarchs?" (video)
In 1988, Armenia was more independent than it is today. Today, we have formal and shaky independence, and it is a serious threat, says Ashot Manucharyan, a member of the Karabakh Committee. “We must learn lessons from the history and rely on ourselves. Our primary objective must be the unification of world-scattered Armenians. At that time, the entire world will run after us as hardly you can find a world leader who does not have an Armenian relative or friend, or a country where Armenians do not their essential role,” he said. Ashot Manucharyan says everyone who has made fortune and stays in power will become a traitor. The hatred people feel towards oligarchs has reached its climax. He underlines that young people hold a different opinion about the defense of frontline and hostilities. “They say, “Why should I take up arms and protect the wealth of oligarchs? If I am to take up arms, I shall first of all deprive oligarchs of their property,” said Mr Manucharyan.
