COFFEE DRINKING Yesterday the NAS leadership elected Anna Boyajian as the director of the Institute of molecular biology. Astghik Pepoyan, who had also nominated his candidacy told the present persons, in particularly NAS president Radik Martirosian the following: «There is no science, there is only coffee-drinking. If this is the Academy, it must be closed indeed.” After these words Radik Martirosian affirmed the selection once more. «We have made a right selection». | ABOUT THE NA FORMER AND CURRENT CHAIRMEN’S TRIPS
NA chairman Tigran Torosian is leaving for San Marino on November 17 to take part in the sitting of the PACE standing commission where the issue of establishing the pact of stability in South Caucasus will be discussed. And the OEP chairman Arthur Baghdasarian is leaving for France in the near future where he'll have meetings with state and political circles. NO SUMMARY Writer and statesman Vano Siradeghian's sixtieth anniversary will be celebrated on Monday. As a media, we don't want to be engaged in anyone’s apology, even in his birthday. We simply fix the reality. And the reality is that Vano, as well as the rest of members of “Karabakh committee” are a politician of revolutionary period with all his inherent mistakes. He is one of those politicians who intended and achieved the revolution but not of those ones who take advantage of its results. Negative is much more than positive in every revolution, willfulness, injustice, despotism are unavoidable there. But let’s compare how the ‘90’s of the previous century passed in Georgia and Azerbaijan, and we’ll be sure that the team where Vano Siradeghian played a core role was much more responsible and wiser. Why do the current authorities hate Vano and why did launch a propagandizing hysteria against him after coming to power? I think, besides the aspiration to black the past, psychological complexes also play a great role here. In post revolutionary period, dull, more common people come to replace politicians of large scale, and they express their dullness in rage towards the formers. A medium pupil may keep silence for 10 years and wait when his excellent classmate will miss and give him and opportunity to demonstrate his envy. Just in the same nowadays intellectuals /for example Levon Ananian/ for pleasing the authority complain how ANM has pursued them by «they were bad but you are good» transparent pretext. As every bright person, Vano also mustn't be identified with his party. And more, when the opposition was holding demonstrations in 1994 against Vano, the ANM ruling cliques exulted at the curses addressed to him. And the opposite, when the first scenes of rat race became visible he began ruling the ANM, and if there is a party by that name, it is Vano’s merit. I’m sure, his political biography isn’t over yet, and so it isn’t the time to summarize. Let’s simply congratulate his birth anniversary. Aram Abrahamian |
