Tigran Manasyan Biography
On the cultural and educational center of Hayasa, the fraud of the people and the future of Armenia, the editorial office of the newspaper Noah's Ark was told by K. Tigran Manasyan, head of Hayasa. When he was created, what are his goals and objectives? The following year he will celebrate the summer anniversary. We position Hayasa as the Russian-Armenian media.
Ten years ago, we and the only-minded friends drew attention to the fact that in the Russian media space, including the Internet, extremely little affordable objective information about Armenia. About its culture, history, interesting personalities related to the Armenian people and Armenian-Russian relations. And we had the idea to talk about this through the creation and posting of small videos on the Internet, the production of documentaries dedicated to the life of Armenia and the relations of the two countries.
He defended his thesis.
Immediately after that, we organized the Hayasa cultural and educational center. They opened the channel in YouTube, created a site, began to increase the presence on social networks. Tell us about it. Just noted the flight of the liberation of Shushi. It was decided to prepare a documentary and tell about the history of Artsakh, especially since many Internet users did not know it, like the history of the Karabakh conflict.
We started a story from the Urartian period, the Ararat kingdom. After this film, several more were released dedicated to the Armenian theme. The new impetus was to get acquainted with the academician, a well -known scientist and doctor Armas Albertovich Kamalov. We met with him for an interview. In the process of conversation, Armis Albertovich invited us to make a film about Kirill Shchelkin, one of the most classified creators of the Soviet atomic bomb.
Kirill Shchelkin was forgotten because it was ordered to forget him. Shchelkin was a fairly straightforward, uncompromising person, and not all bosses liked it. After the departure of Shchelkin, they decided to delete his name from the story from life, to confuse that he had almost succeeded. But thanks to the idea and inspiration of Armas Albertovich Kamalov, a documentary about the scientist was prepared.
We continued cooperation with Armas Kamalov. And when he, together with his colleagues, founded the Fund for the Development and Support of the Russian-Armenian Humanitarian Initiatives “Heritage and Progress”, a documentary about Arno Babadzhanyans was released within its framework for the composer's birthday. The next film was the film about Armen Dzhigarkhanyan.
Currently, we are finalizing the picture for showing on Russian central television. A film was shot about Levon Ayrapetyan-a humanist, a benefactor, a man-etalon for all of us. There are not many people like him, and they need to tell the world about them so that people strive for such an ideal. I am proud of this work. Several times I met with Levon Gurgenovich Ayrapetyan.
He made a great impression on me. When we started creating a film, there were practically no financial resources. He invested his own money into starting capital. Then the friends of Levon Ayrapetyan and people who were not even familiar with him began to provide financial support. And the film was shot. Today, the republic is going through difficult times both in economic, political and moral.
What are the ways out of the crisis, in your opinion? What can help Armenians and Armenia overcome it, get out of the psychological trance? I will say quite hard. I think that the Armenians received what they deserved. I got what I deserved. I think that you always need to look for a problem in yourself. Armenia was in this position because we do not really love our republic.
We can speak beautiful toasts, beautiful words, but when it comes to deed, not every of us is ready to prove this love with actions. This is the problem. The authorities who controlled Armenia for a long period, in my opinion, did not set the goal of the development of the republic, the development of Artsakh. The goal was different - to stay in power as long as possible. All these years in Armenia there was no national idea.
And without having it, no state can develop and go forward. By the way, Levon Ayrapetyan spoke about this. The recognition of genocide is a goal. But she refers us to the past, and does not call for the future, although, of course, it can change it. Another goal is the recognition of Artsakh. But the national idea is completely different. It can be in the humanitarian, or geopolitical, or cultural mission of the Armenian people.
Levon Gurgenovich said that he met with all the leaders of independent Armenia, starting with Ter-Petrosyan. And to everyone he asked the question: where are we going, what is our national idea? He believed that the national idea of the Armenians should be to return each Armenian to Armenian. That's when we do this, Armenia will become invincible, become one of the most developed countries.
And it turns out that we do not know why we exist. When we find out this, we will have a completely different future. Do you think it is worth expecting changes, given the fact that the elections will be under the control of the current prime minister?And it is the people who should make it. Do people want to have a foggy future? And we all saw what the future can expect us with the current prime minister.
Starting from the year, they were told a lot of beautiful phrases. With all due respect to my people, I can say that people were deceived. Personally, I was deceived. In the year, I warmly supported the revolution in Armenia. Just at that moment he was in Yerevan on the set of the film about Arama Khachaturians, and the events unfolded before my eyes. Treatment should always begin with a diagnosis.
We must realize and admit that we were deceived. We were promised the bright future of Armenia, but it looks very vague today. Moreover, it is not clear whether Armenia will exist as a state on the map of the world, given what is happening today. The tripartite agreement on Karabakh was signed on November 9, on my birthday. For several days I experienced a real shock. We were promised victory all the time, they said that we would win the war.
As a result, we not only did not win, but shamefully lost it. And I will never be able to forgive this deception for the current leadership. Pashinyan claims that he is innocent in this disaster. But how can the first person of the state, the Supreme Commander -in -Chief, not be responsible for the country and its people! If the leadership had any external motives, then let Mr.
Pashinyan tell people about them. But he does not do this either. What political force, in your opinion, can bring Armenia to the path of development? Is there such a force? Armenia needs people of another mind warehouse, modern people. And of course, not Pashinyan, who did not graduate from the university, does not have a sufficient level of knowledge in order to be the prime minister.
The power should have a patriot of his state, who will observe his interests. He can and should even be an authoritarian leader at a certain stage in the development of Armenia. I believe that without the hard management of Armenia, he will not be able to get out of today's crisis. The head of state should have its own team, ready for serious challenges. Today, Armenia is ruled by young guys who are completely unnecessary for managing the country.
Shushi has always been the spiritual center of Transcaucasia in the same way as Baku - industrial, Tbilisi - administrative and cultural. Shushi - Armenian city, Armenian spiritual center. Shushi before the beginning of the 10ths in the composition of the population was mainly Azerbaijani city, although the Armenians also lived there. The city with the prevailing Azerbaijani population of Shushi became after the 10ths of the last century.
During this period, a wave of genocides swept through the Transcaucasia. As a result of one of them, when the Turkish troops, together with the Transcaucasian Tatars, entered Shushi and practically cut the population - tens of thousands of people, there were practically no Armenians in Shushi.
