YEREVAN, MARCH 9, NOYAN TAPAN. "Though the accusation addressed to
Tigran Karapetian, voiced publicly by Armen Mazmanian is careless
and doubtful, nevertheless, we cannot but agree to the content of his
statement and to the reasons of his concern." This was mentioned in the
March 10 statement of National Theatrical Creative Union NGO. It was
mentioned that today music and speech not only insulting TV viewers'
taste, but also endangering psychical and esthetical health of children
are voiced on TV. According to the authors of the statement, one should
be either blind or extremely dishonest to refute this fact. According
to the report, this phenomenon can be called cultural perversion,
which, in all probability, A. Mazmanian meant. "We announce that we
will support all those who in some way try to oppose this disgraceful
phenomenon," the organization's statement read. To recap, Art Director
of Goy theater, producer Armen Mazmanian named Chairman of People's
Party, owner of ALM holding Tigran Karapetian in one of his TV speeches
a "populist parrot," "semi-literate," "pickpocket," "a person who had
been convicted in Volgograd for seducing children." On February 14,
Yerevan Kentron and Nork-Marash communities' first instance court
by its verdict qualified the above mentioned expressions as "insult"
and "slander" and decided to fine A. Mazmanian in the amount of 300
thousand drams (nearly 840 USD).
