    DADDIES' SONS AND THE DISOBEDIENT

    A crucial stage of the generation gap

    On these days the sons of the fathers are taking physical revenge on
    people who advocate civic values. Apart from being facts of violence,
    these incidents show that the conflict of generations has at last
    escalated.

    The primary factor of progress is the generation gap. In other words,
    the sons must oppose their parents on many issues and review the
    values of their fathers. In Armenia most sons have lived just like
    their fathers did, listened to the same music, organized traditional
    weddings like their fathers did and, as statistics shows, most of
    them divorced right away or emigrated.

    What makes the young people who have gone on protest different from
    those who are ready to provoke scandals in the street to defend
    their fathers from those who harm their family business? In fact,
    they have escaped family bondage and compulsion. They have been able
    to escape their parents' "don't mix up, it's none of your business,
    don't go out to the street" and other similar instructions. They
    build their own life on another culture based on the freedom of an
    individual and public solidarity.

    This culture of freedom has been suppressed in Armenia for many years
    because there were more followers of criminal and family business
    interests. Perhaps the generation is rising which could not put up
    with the criminal culture that penetrated as far as the schools and
    colleges. And now the followers of the new culture set up hotbeds in
    the streets to publish those values and wake up courage in others.

    For the sons of fathers who are hostages of family business money,
    G class cars and brazenness are achievements. But is this the limit
    of dreams of contemporary young Armenians? Of course, not. Most young
    people pursue deliverance, self-expression and change of their lives.

    They don't care for big cars and privileges. They don't crave for
    material things.

    This generation gap has just entered into a crucial stage. It brings
    about a debate with parents on values and a positive revolution.

    Disobeying parents brings about not only individual but also political
    consequences.

    The independence of sons has the biggest potential of revolution
    because it makes the new lifestyle of young people attractive for
    the majority. The generation gap causes an outburst of new energy
    for the sake of the public's future. The lid will be flung away.
