Former national security advisor to the RA President Ashot Manucharyan says he is not a member of the ANC because the latter is not proposing a complete change.

Manucharyan says he sees "sectors that want complete change".

In response to the question of whether he wants change of power or not, Manucharyan said he wants to see a change of the value system in the country.

"If Narekatsi lived with today's psychology, he would go for a Bentley. But since back then people traveled by donkeys, the Bentley back then would be a donkey with a golden tail. Narekatsi didn't go for taking a photo on that donkey and leave that donkey as heritage, but left us the "Book of Prayer", and that is a matter of system of values," Manucharyan said.

According to Manucharyan, Armenians are more perfect than Narekatsi, and they go for the donkey with a golden tail, that is, Bentleys and buildings. This is a matter of power. If importance is attached to the donkey with a golden tail, we are going toward that. If importance is attached to the "Book of Prayer", we are going for that.

"Change of power is only the change of the value system. All other change of power is change of images that is not important," Ashot Manucharyan says.
