“EACH PERSON IS THE MASTER OF HIS LIFE”
Support A1+!The Armenian people lived under the reign of the Soviet Union for 70 years. People were content with their life.
They complained of one thing: they were not given a chance to elect. We lived in a totalitarian system, I would rather say in a post-totalitarian system. Nowadays we live in autocracy. These systems are alike in view of elections and differ from democratic system by this characteristic feature, AZhK leader Shavarsh Kocharyan said.
We simply could not shift from a totalitarian system to a democratic one. If we managed we could see the vital difference between the two systems.
According to Mr. Kocharyan, a USSR citizen had no future.
I can explain it in this way. Our future was determined by the USSR which was a huge mechanism absorbing everyone. The collapse of the mechanism came to prove that each person is the master of his life and his future is in his hands. Just we took a wrong path in our life. Everything is doomed to failure in case we continue this way,” he concluded.
