    Column of the editor


    "In what culture is the place of Armenia, European or
    Asian?",-the inflaming passions round this questions cause surprise
    and indignation. What do we mean by saying "european
    culture"?-nothing about it. "What do we mean by saying "Asia?",
    -nothing. What is understood under "european culture", consists of
    numerous planes. It mustn't regard it as an organic phenomenon, that
    is to say as a whole emergence formed on a basis of the junction of
    mutual necessary parts. For example, european system of a state's
    governing has not any connection with taday's liberal worths. From
    emancipation to understrained glorifying of role and rights of an
    individual. Glorifying of an individual's rights and abasement of the
    society's rights is a nonsense.
    The rights of public creature cannot predominate over its
    society's rights. The part cannot be more important from the whole.
    So if the first - the system of state's governing, which was born in
    european culture and for a time passed an experimentation as
    comparatively the most purposeful method of political, state
    organization of the society, for us (just for all) it's a necessary
    stage in the process of improving and building of the statehood, so
    the second and the third for a time didn't pass an experimentation
    and courted disaster of the West.Terrible disaster! Thank God! It's
    better late, than never. Europe wakes up, by hard fatal
    experiment.....
    But in Erevan, not foolish political uncles inquire in the
    circles of common people "Where does your will incline, safe Europe
    or ... Asia?". Very stupid statement of the question. So-so. As if
    they speak with children:whom do like more, father or mother?
    Why should I give my preference to either Europe or Asia? What is
    understood under "Asia" or "Russia", let's throw away without
    analytical trainings. What about modern european society, so I'll say
    the following:
    Before speaking about the shortcomings of "european house", let's
    remind once again a well-known primitive truth, such positive
    european achievements as high standard of living and low infant
    mortality rate, devotion and decrease of agression and many things
    are worthy of the highest estimation.
    The inadmissible.The modern european idea affirms, that there are
    not exclusive worths. In european society, a person is very free, he
    depends neither the God or the nature. There isn't a system of worths
    accepted by all. Every human desire, which doesn't penetrate into
    society with criminal code, is permitted, but the criminal code must
    adopt more and more to enbroadening freedoms of an individual.....
    Abolishing the responsibility, the western culture by slow action
    makes a deed. Self-abolishing deed.
    The society cannot exist, if the principle of pleasure is stated
    as a main vital principle.
    The compromise is stated as a well-known worth. So, in Europe
    there isn't any word about innerunification, not Europe, so Asia. No.
    All, eitherAsia, or Europe, or the others, must strive for the
    situation, which is called commonsense ans justice.
    They will not oblige us to accept their destroying basic-liberal
    worths, they won't stand aside from our friendship, if they are sure,
    that we live by the rules of justice and commonsense.
