    WHY DID EUROPEANS CHOOSE THE "MONSTERS"?

    The Armenian Apostolic church representatives are concerned with the
    victory of Finnish group Lordi at Eurovision 2006. In a discussion
    held at Ararat diocese, priest Tovma Andrasyan said that the victory
    of the "monsters" indicates that Europe is undergoing a phase of
    decline of moral values. The priest also quoted statistics saying
    the higher the standard of living in European countries, the more
    mentally ill they have. "The churches in Scandinavia are empty,"
    he said, adding that there is no greater sin than indifference.

    Michael Hambartsumyan, psychologist did not agree with him. In his
    words, the choice of the Europeans reflected everything that the
    youth does not agree now.

    The psychologist suggests taking the performance only as a show
    and not as moral degradation. "The Finn needed the first place and
    they reached their aim - serious marketing was conducted beforehand
    on audience preferences. They understood that there is a need for
    rock music since Eurovision has long been taken as a contest of pop
    music. I do not think we have to look for religious origins here,"
    Hambartsumyan said.
